Background
Pancreatic masses are commonly encountered and are a diagnostic challenge on imaging modalities.
One of the most common cystic lesions of the pancreas include pancreatic pseudocysts which require treatment,
some pancreatic cystic lesions require only imaging follow up,
whereas some pancreatic cystic lesions are of malignant etiology and ask for aggressive treatment.
Solid masses can range from benign inflammatory masses to malignant masses and may present with similar clinical presentation and their differentiation dictates the appropriate management strategies.
Clinically patients with Pancreatic masses may be asymptomatic or present with:
1) Abdominal pain
2) Abdominal lump
3) Jaundice
4) Weight loss and anorexia
Pancreatic masses can be classified as:
