Dr. Shiv Mani, Dr. Vandana Gupta

Background: The present study was conducted to assess pancreatic masses on computed tomography. Materials & Methods: 82 patients with pancreatic masses of both genders underwent CT examination with 256-slice dual source multidetector CT. These findings were compared with histopathological diagnosis. Results: Out of 82 cases, males were 34 and females were 48. 54 lesions were solid, 22 were cystic and 6 were solid- cystic. Consistency with final diagnosis in solid lesions was 92.6%, in cystic lesions were 90.9% and with solid- cystic lesions were 100. Inconsistency with final diagnosis in solid lesions was 7.4%, in cystic lesions were 9% and with solid- cystic lesions were 0%. Conclusion: CT scan was found to be effective in assessment of pancreatic masses. Key words: CT scan, Pancreatic masses, Solid- cystic.
