Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Pancreas
A friend of mine has had an MRI which shows an enlarged pancreas overlapping her liver and gall bladder. A surgeon. Has suggested she go for an endoscopy MRI. Her symptoms include high liver enzymes, itching, back ache, loss of weight and appetite, dark urine and light stools. Would this indicate something serious like pancreatic cancer? She has no abdominal pain nor nausea or vomiting.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has high liver enzymes, dark urine and light stool. It is suggestive of obstruction of bile duct. With pancrease increase in size so it may be due to periamullary carcinoma.
You should go for endoscopy and biopsy if needed.
Go for that and take treatment accordingly.
