Abstrakt: The article deals with the method and results of ultrasonically-guided fine needle percutaneous biopsy performed in 45 patients for differential diagnosis of cancer of the pancreas. Thirty-four patients had tumors of the pancreas, 10--chronic indurative pancreatitis, one patient had a cyst. The diagnosis was verified morphologically in 34 patients: in 25 of 31 patients with primary tumors of the pancreas and in 9 of 11 patients with chronic pancreatitis and a cyst. The method is safe, highly informative and allows the character and nature of the pancreatic tumor to be determined precisely and the tactics of special treatment to be thus elaborated.
