When conventional radiological methods such as Ultrasonography (USG),Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are insufficent, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography(FDG-PET), Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) and EUS guided fine needle aspiration biopsy may be useful in the differential diagnosis.In this paper, we report a case, characterized by enlargement of the head of the pancreas secondary to inflammation, a focal pancreatitisinvolved with pancreatic cancer.( Sakarya Med J 2016, 6(4):235-239 ).
