Allison Fitzgerald, Hematology/Oncology Clinical Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared a post on X:
“Today I learned if you see a dilated pancreatic duct in CT, it’s almost always caused by pancreatic cancer.”
To which Syed A. Ahmad, Director at University of Cincinnati Cancer Center and Chief of Surgical Oncology at University of Cincinnati, added:
“That’s not true.
Most the time it’s either a normal aberrant finding or from chronic pancreatitis. A double duct sign (dilation of pancreas and bile duct) is more concerning.”
