  • Title: Inflammatory mimickers of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
    Author: Kothari K, Lopes Vendrami C, Kelahan LC, Shin JS, Mittal P, Miller FH.
    Journal: Abdom Radiol (NY); 2020 May; 45(5):1387-1396. PubMed ID: 31559473.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma can be a difficult imaging diagnosis early in its course given its subtle imaging findings such as focal pancreatic duct dilatation, abrupt duct cut-off, and encasement of vasculature. A variety of pancreatitidies have imaging findings that mimic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and lead to mass formation making diagnosis even more difficult on imaging alone. These conditions include acute focal pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, and paraduodenal ("groove") pancreatitis. This review will focus on imaging findings that can help differentiate these inflammatory processes from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
