“…1980], Haaga et al [1977] compared the value of CT in demonstrating pancreatic location with other diagnostic procedures such as angiography and ultrason ography. They reported that measurements of normal pancreas performed on 31 autopsy specimens correlated well with CT findings.…”

The location of the pancreatic tail in the lienorenal ligament and its relationship to the splenic hilus were studied in 32 computed tomography (CT) scannings and in 37 autopsy specimens. We found several anatomical variations in both study groups: the pancreatic tail did not penetrate the lienorenal ligament in 24% of the autopsy specimens and in 37.5% of the CT group. The tail was adjacent to the splenic hilus in 29.7% of the autopsies and in 25% of the CT group. We classified the anatomical variations into 4 categories, three of which could be well demonstrated on CTwith satisfactory correlation to the anatomical findings of the autopsy specimens.

“…Initial experience with the method, as applied to the pancreas, has recently been reported from two major American institutions (Haaga et al, 1977;Sheedy et al, 1977). Changes in the size and shape of the gland are reliably detected but no difference in density between neoplastic and normal tissue has been seen.…”

SUMMARY Our experience with laparoscopy in the diagnosis and staging of 23 cases of pancreatic cancer is reported. This endoscopic procedure has proved useful in the diagnosis of the disease, in the assessment of operability, and in the retrieval of material for histological and cytological confirmation of pancreatic cancer. An infra-gastric laparoscopic method for inspection of the body and tail of the pancreas is described and the technique may allow the earlier detection of neoplasms in this region.

“…Widening of the pancreatic duct existed in both groups; mass shadow was hardly detected in localized and rather easily detected in extensive cancer; duodenal invasion and obliteration of fat planes were found only in extensive type; enlargement of the pancreas was a confusing factor of tumor detection in localized type; atrophy of the pancreatic body and tail was a most favorable indirect sign in extensive cancer.of pancreas -Pancreatic neoplasms Computed tomography has been anticipated as a useful method for detecting tumor in the head of the pancreas [1][2][3][4][5]. However, correlations between tumor staging and CT findings were not fully explained.…”

Computed tomographic findings in patients with localized and extensive pancreatic head cancer were studied. Widening of the pancreatic duct existed in both groups; mass shadow was hardly detected in localized and rather easily detected in extensive cancer; duodenal invasion and obliteration of fat planes were found only in extensive type; enlargement of the pancreas was a confusing factor of tumor detection in localized type; atrophy of the pancreatic body and tail was a most favorable indirect sign in extensive cancer.of pancreas -Pancreatic neoplasms Computed tomography has been anticipated as a useful method for detecting tumor in the head of the pancreas [1][2][3][4][5]. However, correlations between tumor staging and CT findings were not fully explained. In this report we focus on the CT findings in cases with localized and extensive carcinoma in the pancreatic head. Materials and MethodsTwenty-two cases were selected for this retrospective study. Two cases were carcinoma originating in the distal end of the choledochus. Existence of neoplasm in all was proven by modified Whipple's procedure or exploratory laparotomy.The materials were divided into 2 groups. The first group (localized type) was composed of 7 cases in which a tumor was localized in the parenchyma of the pancreas. The second group (extensive type) included 15 cases with tumor involvement to the duodenum, peripancreatic fat planes, and adjacent vessels of the pancreatic head.Computed tomography was performed with a Siemens Somatom, which has a 256 x256 matrix, 5 sec scan time, 4 or 8 mm Address reprint requests to: K. Inamoto, M.D.,
