[Ultrasonography of the pancreas. Diagnostic problems and findings in cases of solid pancreatic masses (author's transl)]. 1979

By using rigourous examination techniques and interpretive criteria, ultrasonography of the pancreas can, in many cases, confirm the etiological diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses. Factors influencing diagnosis are the volume and shape of the pancreas, the ultrasound structure, the attenuation of ultrasounds, the outline of the pancreas, and the effect on neighbouring structures. The association of signs is often characteristic and can differentiate benign from malignant masses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010182 Pancreatic Diseases Pathological processes of the PANCREAS. Disease, Pancreatic,Diseases, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Disease
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).

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).
