  • Title: Ultrasonic and computed tomographic appearances of paraganglioma simulating pancreatic mass.
    Author: Malthouse SR, Robinson L, Rankin SC.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1992 Apr; 45(4):271-2. PubMed ID: 1395386.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of paraganglioma in which the tumour was situated adjacent to the head of the pancreas simulating a pancreatic mass lesion. The absence of biliary or pancreatic duct dilatation on ultrasound in the presence of a large mass suggested a retroperitoneal tumour rather than a pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Functional activity in these tumours is common and should be excluded before biopsy.
