[Echographic diagnosis of the pancreas. Catamnesis of 481 cases (author's transl)]. 1977

H Kremer, and E Kellner, and W Schierl, and C Schumm, and S Weidenhiller, and N Zöllner

In order to assess the efficiency of ultrasonic diagnosis of the pancreas, echographic findings in 481 patients were compared with the final diagnosis in the case sheets. Agreement between the echographic results and the final diagnosis was found in 94.6% with normal findings, in 77% of patients with pancreatic carcinoma and in 85% of patients with chronic pancreatitis. Altogether we have found agreement between the echographic results and the final diagnosis in 86.6% of all cases referred for diagnosis of the pancreas. The results correspond to the fiqures given by Rettenmaier. With adequate experience ultrasonic diagnosis should therefore be used as early as possible with a broad indication for all diseases of the pancreas.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010181 Pancreatic Cyst A true cyst of the PANCREAS, distinguished from the much more common PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST by possessing a lining of mucous EPITHELIUM. Pancreatic cysts are categorized as congenital, retention, neoplastic, parasitic, enterogenous, or dermoid. Congenital cysts occur more frequently as solitary cysts but may be multiple. Retention cysts are gross enlargements of PANCREATIC DUCTS secondary to ductal obstruction. (From Bockus Gastroenterology, 4th ed, p4145) Cyst, Pancreatic,Cysts, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Cysts

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).

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

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.
