Diagnostic dilemma, Pancreatic Lesion: Jejunal Loop Mimicking Cancer on Ultrasound - CT Clarifies

A 25 mm hypoechoic lesion in the pancreatic body on ultrasound was initially suspected to be carcinoma due to its lack of vascularity on Color Doppler imaging. However, a CT scan later revealed the lesion to be a jejunal loop of the intestine, not a pancreatic mass. This case demonstrates a common diagnostic challenge in abdominal ultrasound, where intestinal structures, particularly gas-filled loops, may mimic solid pancreatic lesions. The use of CT imaging helped clarify the diagnosis and prevent misinterpretation.
