Pancreatitis vs pancreatic mass

  • 12 year old FN lurcher
  • Vomiting, inappetance and abdominal pain
  • Abdo scan showed severe steatitis/peritonitis with low volume free fluid.
  • Duodenum was thickened, spastic with ill-defined layering
  • Pancreas was oedematous and irregular with area in body which was severely heterogenous – is it possible to tell without sampling whether this is most likely inflammation/necrosis or neoplasia?
