A member asked:
Increased echogenicity of the pancreas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreas Lesion : A hyper echo genic lesion can represent a cyst or a tumor, as well as a localized area of scarring or inflammation. At your age, the lesion is more than likely to be benign. Was this an incidental finding, or did you have an ultrasound because you are symptomatic? I assume your doctor is planning to follow up with you on the finding, but if not, give him a call and discuss his thoughts.
