Mineralization in the left pancreas

Mineralization in the left pancreas

  • 13 yr old FS DSH with a history of chronic intermittent vomiting
  • Labwork is pending but has been normal in the past
  • Abdominal ultrasound shows a strongly shadowing linear echogenic density in the region of the left pancreas dorsal to the spleen and caudal to the stomach
  • No other abnormalities are seen (normal GI wall, no lymphadenopathy)
  • My primary differential diagnoses for this are pancreatic duct stones or mineralization of the pancreatic parenchyma
  • Any other thoughts on what could this be?

    • Could this be related to the vomiting or just and incidental finding?
    • Thanks!
