Shadow on the pancreas. What's going on?

Pancreatic shadow may be caused by pancreatic atrophy, obesity and tumor.

1. Pancreatic atrophy

If the patient drinks a lot of alcohol or eats irregularly for a long time, it is easy to cause pancreatic damage, causing local uneven density.

2. Obesity

If the patient eats excessively for a long time, obesity can cause excessive accumulation of fat in the pancreas, resulting in pancreatic shadow.

3. Tumor

may be related to inflammation, genetics and other factors. When pancreatic tumor appears, it can also cause massive shadow on the surface of pancreas.
