What causes small lesion in tail of pancreas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The most important: cause would be Pancreatic Cancer however pancreatic cysts can cause small lesions....this finding NEEDS to be explained since when cancer is picked up "early" in the tail" of the organ CURE can be achieved by early surgery! Hope this helps! DrZ
