Abstract
In 150 patients who underwent ultrasonography 85 cases presented a pathological ultrasonogram. Clinical course, enzyme elevations, or operative findings suggested pancreatic disease. In 14 cases the diagnosis was confirmed by histology. Acute pancreatitis may be diagnosed by a certain sonographic pattern. Cysts, solid tumours, and inflammatory masses may be differentiated. Malignant tumours cannot be differentiated from benign lesions.
