Abstract Computed tomographic findings in patients with localized and extensive pancreatic head cancer were studied. Widening of the pancreatic duct existed in both groups; mass shadow was hardly detected in localized and rather easily detected in extensive cancer; duodenal invasion and obliteration of fat planes were found only in extensive type; enlargement of the pancreas was a confusing factor of tumor detection in localized type; atrophy of the pancreatic body and tail was a most favorable indirect sign in extensive cancer.
