[Ultrasound differential diagnostic aspects in cystadenoma of the pancreas].
OBJECTIVE
Assessment of differential diagnostic criteria of cystic adenomas of the pancreas.


METHODS
We rechecked on all diagnostic criteria of patients with pancreatic pseudocysts retrospectively who had been treated in our department between 1981 and 1993.


RESULTS
12 patients with cystic adenomas of the pancreas had been treated in our department i.a. 7.8% of all cystic pancreatic tumours. Histopathologically 1 microcystic and 4 macrocystic adenomas as well as 7 cystic adenocarcinomas were seen.


CONCLUSIONS
Diagnostic ultrasound criteria are discussed. Ultrasound-guided fine--needle-biopsy (FNB) is necessary to diagnose the content as well as the status of the pancreatic cysts. The ultrasound and the fine-needle-biopsy findings are important for differentiating between cystic adenomas and pseudocysts of the pancreas.
