Hello,
When a mass is detected, there is a need to do the biopsy to see if it is not having cancerous cells or otherwise. Just scanned image does not give any clue. So please do get the biopsy done. Pancreatic biopsy is not all that dangerous. Not getting it done and then facing a serious consequence can be more dangerous.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
