Abstract EN
Between September 1996 and May 1999 twenty six pa¬tients with a pancreatic mass were studied.
In 24 patients (92.3 %) the masses could be detected by ultrasound but were not detectable in the other two cases.
In the 24 pa¬tients percutaneous FNAC under u/s guidance produced only one complication.
The accuracy of this test in diagnosing pancreatic ma¬lignant tumours was 90.4 %.
Laparotomy was not neces¬sary in three cases with advanced pancreatic carcinoma (11.5 %) and the material aspirated was not suitable for di¬agnosis in three cases.
No benign lesions were found and so it was not possible to estimate the reliability of FNAC in their diagnosis.
