Abstract
Despite the considerable progress and refinement of the imaging modalities [endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), ultrasound, and computed tomography], the precise diagnosis of a pancreatic mass lesion still presents a problem in many instances. Although a detailed sonographic texture pattern can be recorded from the interior of solid parenchymatous organs, permitting characterization of diffuse pathologic processes as well as space-occupying lesions, ultrasonographic data are basically morphologic and do not provide histologic qualification.
