[Diagnostic features of the abnormal endoscopic pancreatogram (author's transl)]

Features of 75 abnormal pancreatograms are analysed. Radiomorphology is conferred with surgical or postmortem findings in all cases. None of the anatomical alterations was found to be specific for any given diseases entity, some consistency was verified however. Solitary stenosis suggests cancer. Diffuse alterations point to chronic pancreatitis. Cave filling is a likely sign of cyst or pseudocyst. Since, however, these features are nonspecific, the diagnosis must be based on clinical data as well.
