  • Title: Diagnostic significance of the pancreatic displacement with extrapancreatic oval-shaped low activity area on scintigram.
    Author: Watanabe K, Nakayama C, Kamoi I, Matsuura K.
    Journal: Radiol Clin (Basel); 1977; 46(2):130-9. PubMed ID: 841022.
    Abstract:
    To aid in the differential diagnosis of upper abdominal tumors, pancreatic scintigraphy was performed in 62 cases. The findings were rather characteristic for pancreatic cysts; namely, pancreatic displacement and, adjacently, an oval-shaped activity area whose count was lower than background. Pancreatic displacement was observed with comparatively large retroperitoneal masses. Low activity areas were observed in cystic lesions. Both findings were noted in 7 (54%) of 13 pancreatic cyst cases. Among the 12 cases with these findings, 7 (58%) had pancreatic cysts.
