Conclusion
Pancreatic pseudo tumors, often
present as a subsidiary discovery during an evaluation of some
inconsistent symptoms or an unusual finding during usual radiological
scans. Determining this rare entity is an exigent task and can only be
done through biopsy after surgical extraction. Therefore, in case of an
ambiguous or missed diagnosis, surgical resection is the recommended
treatment of choice which can be restorative in most cases.
Thorough assessment of the medical symptoms and evaluation of
radiological findings may condense the differentials and aid in
curtailing any redundant invasive procedures. This can further reduce
infections, complications and in turn mortality rates. On the contrary,
misdiagnosing pancreatic pseudo tumors can be fatal. Although imaging is
the substantial source of detecting the tumor, biopsy is the ultimate
expedient for the definitive diagnosis.
