Transabdominal ultrasonographic diagnosis of relatively rare pancreatic neoplasms

Abstract

There are various types of pancreatic neoplasms, and their prognosis and treatment methods are different. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is important to determine the best treatment strategy. Transabdominal ultrasonography is frequently used as a screening examination for diagnostic imaging of pancreatic neoplasms. In this review, we have focused on the characteristics of ultrasonic findings for relatively rare pancreatic neoplasms.
