BACKGROUND Late-phase enhancement of pancreatic parenchyma upstream (tail side) of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is found frequently on dual-phase helical computed tomography (CT). We measured the frequency of late-phase enhancement of the upstream portion of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and normal pancreatic parenchyma using dual-phase helical CT. METHODS Twenty-one patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and nontumorous pancreas upstream of tumors were compared with 100 control patients without pancreatic disease. Early and late scans started at 25 and 75 s, respectively, after intravenous injection of contrast material. The attenuation values of normal and nontumorous pancreas upstream of tumors were assessed in three phases: precontrast, early, and late enhanced. Enhancement ratio (ER) was calculated as ER = (late phase - precontrast)/(early phase - precontrast). RESULTS Late-phase enhancements (ER > 1.0) were seen in 86% of upstream pancreas and 10% of normal pancreas. The mean ER of upstream pancreas was significantly higher than that of normal pancreas (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Late-phase enhancement of the pancreas upstream of the tumor is frequently observed in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Late-phase enhancement and histology showed a correlation for chronic obstructing pancreatitis in five patients.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
