[citation needed] Indications for surgical resection include obstructive jaundice, an enhancing mural nodule >5 mm, and pancreatic duct dilation (>10 mm). [ 12 ] Surgery can include the removal of the head of the pancreas (a pancreaticoduodenectomy ), removal of the body and tail of the pancreas (a distal pancreatectomy ), or rarely removal of ...

Computed tomography (CT) findings in AIP include a diffusely enlarged hypodense pancreas or a focal mass that may be mistaken for a pancreatic malignancy. [8] A low-density, capsule-like rim on CT (possibly corresponding to an inflammatory process involving peripancreatic tissues) is thought to be an additional characteristic feature (thus the ...
A pancreatic tumor is an abnormal growth in the pancreas. [1] In adults, almost 90% are pancreatic cancer and a few are benign. [1] Pancreatic tumors are rare in children. [1] Classification is based on cellular differentiation (ductal, acinar, neuroendocrine, other) and gross appearance (intraductal, cystic, solid). [1]
Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) is a type of cystic lesion that occurs in the pancreas. Amongst individuals undergoing surgical resection of a pancreatic cyst, about 23 percent were mucinous cystic neoplasms. These lesions are benign, though there is a high rate of progression to cancer. As such, surgery should be pursued when feasible.
Adults: cutoff values defined differently by different sources, with anteroposterior diameters ranging between 10 and 20 mm. [18] About 13% of normal healthy adults have a transverse pelvic diameter of over 10 mm. [19] Prostate: Prostatomegaly: Volume over 30 cm 3. Pulmonary artery: Dilation >29 mm [20] Small intestine: Dilation 2.5 cm on CT ...
