- Adenopathy - “ It is important that the radiologist be familiar with the wide spectrum of anatomic variants and
disease entities that can mimic primary pancreatic neoplasia in order to initiate the appropriate
lesion-specific work-up and treatment and avoid unnecessary tests or procedures, including
surgery.”
