Chronic focal fibrosing pancreatitis: detection by MRI.
The study of a 70-year-old woman with fibrosing pancreatitis, an uncommon variety of chronic pancreatitis, presenting as a discrete solid mass in the head of the pancreas, is reported. CT and US were non-diagnostic while ERCP and MR detected a focal anomaly. This case report stresses the sensitivity of MR in some pancreatic pathologies.
