[Diagnostic features of the abnormal endoscopic pancreatogram (author's transl)]. 1978

J Papp, and Z Tulassay, and E Kollin, and E Hajos

Features of 75 abnormal pancreatograms are analysed. Radiomorphology is conferred with surgical or postmortem findings in all cases. None of the anatomical alterations was found to be specific for any given diseases entity, some consistency was verified however. Solitary stenosis suggests cancer. Diffuse alterations point to chronic pancreatitis. Cave filling is a likely sign of cyst or pseudocyst. Since, however, these features are nonspecific, the diagnosis must be based on clinical data as well.

D009336	Necrosis	The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
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).

D002758	Cholangiography	An imaging test of the BILIARY TRACT in which a contrast dye (RADIOPAQUE MEDIA) is injected into the BILE DUCT and x-ray pictures are taken.	Cholangiographies

D004724	Endoscopy	Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
