: What was the indication of CT of the abdomen in the first place? If EUS and FNA are negative, pancreatic cancer is almost ruled out and I wonder what the FNA finding was. If you have history of chronic pancreatitis, it could be a case of mass-forming chronic pancreatitis, usually present in the pancreatic head. Good luck.
