BACKGROUND: Pancreatic duct (PD) dilation could be presented in both benign and malignant diseases. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a sensitive modality that provides both structural assessment and tissue sampling. This study aims to explore the importance of PD dilation as a potential indicator related to various pancreatobiliary pathologies identified via EUS.
METHODS: Among 3109 subjects who underwent EUS, 599 had evidence of dilated PD and met the inclusion criteria of this retrospective study. Also, the patients underwent EUS fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) to evaluate the etiology when required. All data were extracted from patients' medical records to perform statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The study sample revealed 64% being male with a median age was 65-years. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma was the most common etiology diagnosed in 236 patients (39.4%), followed by sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) in 13% of subjects. Ampullary carcinoma, common bile duct stone, and cholangiocarcinoma were found at 9.5%, 8.8%, and 6.8%, respectively. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom seen in 440 (73.4%) patients. Opium consumption was reported in 170 (28.4%) subjects. Opium consumption was significantly more prevalent in patients with SOD (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: We suggest that PD dilation could be associated with a wide range of pancreaticobiliary pathologies, especially pancreatic neoplasms. In this regard, PD dilation should be considered as a crucial indicator of pancreatic neoplasm despite it may be associated with no clear etiologies.
