A member asked:
During ultrasound of liver increased echogenic pancreas was found. i am diabetic non insulin, have had breast cancer what should be done ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leave alone: This was an incidental finding which while showing increased echogenic changes did not reveal a mass or discrete lesion. This diffuse change could represent fatty infiltration or even a low grade form of pancreatitis. Neither are associated with a pancreatic lesion or breast cancer. A repeat study in 6 months to see the direction of changes may help.
