Summary
The diagnosis of pancreatic diseases is still problematic. Non-invasive methods in diagnosis are the most important :
- abdominal ultrasound,
- computerised tomography,
- magnetic resonance,
- positron emission tomography.
- 156 patients (21.6 %) had been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis (or suspicion),
- 148 patients (20.5 %) had pancreatic cancer (or suspicion), and
- 49 patients (6.8 %) had cystic tumour of the pancreas (or suspicion).
According to our results, endoscopic ultrasound has an irreplaceable role primarily in the
- differential diagnosis of focal lesions,
- diagnosis of small lesions of the pancreas,
- and early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis.
Key words:
differential diagnosis, endoscopic ultrasound, pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, cystic tumour of the pancreas
