Lead rewrite date October 2009 A pancreatic mass is any undifferentiated growth detected in the pancreas , usually on medical imaging . A number of terms used to describe abnormal masses also known as tumor s in the pancreas . Masses can be described based on their physical characteristics, as defined by imaging studies, as solid consisting of solid abnormal tissue or cystic cavities filled with mucus or fluid . Masses can also further be described based on their aggressiveness usually based on imaging and examination of their cells under the microscope as benign no potential for turning into cancer , premalignant some potential to turning into cancer and malignant cancerous . Masses involving the pancreas are being recognized more frequently, in part because of the growing use of radiology imaging. Many lesions found on the pancreas turn out to be benign pseudocysts, but a variety of harmless benign and malignant cancerous neoplasms abnormal growths can involve the pancreas and a multidisciplinary approach including good Medical history clinical history , imaging, and careful pathology is often needed to establish the correct diagnosis. ref name pathology.jhu.edu cite web url http pathology.jhu.edu pancreas MDC index.php title Pancreatic Cancer Multi Disciplinary Clinic at Johns Hopkins Umniversity ref Signs and symptoms The clinical history can often help establish the nature of a tumor involving the pancreas. For example, a history of alcoholism complicated by multiple episodes of pancreatitis inflammation of the pancreas suggests the possibility of a pseudocyst, the leakage and collection of pancreatic enzymes outside of the pancreas. By contrast, patients with painless jaundice an abnormal yellowing of the skin and eyes often caused by blockage of the bile duct s are more likely to have a pancreatic cancer . Blood test s can also point to the correct diagnosis. Patients with pseudocysts often have associated pancreatitis with elevated blood levels of the enzyme ... more details

italictitle Taxobox image name Kudoa thrysites regnum Animal ia phylum Myxozoa classis Myxosporea ordo Multivalvulida familia Kudoidae genus Kudoa species K. thrysites binomial Kudoa thrysites binomial authority Gilchrist, 1924 Kudoa thrysites is a myxosporea n parasite of ocean marine fish es. It has a worldwide distribution, and infects a wide range of host species. This parasite is responsible for causing economic losses to the fisheries sector, by causing post mortem myoliquefaction , a softening of the flesh to such an extent that the fish becomes unmarketable. It is not infective to humans. Taxonomy The spores of K. thyrsites are stellate in shape, with 4 valves and 4 polar capsule s. Upon infection by the actinosporea n stage the sporoplasm migrates to a muscle fibre where it forms a pseudocyst . Within these pseudocysts are the developing spore stages. Comparison of 18S rDNA sequences of Kudoa species and other myxozoan species to determine their relationships. They show that Kudoa species are distinct from other myxozoans analyzed Myxidium sp., Myxobolus sp., and Henneguya zschokkei Ref Hervio . Kudoa thyrsites is an interesting member of this group in that apparently has very broad host specificity, infecting many fish species around the world Table 1 . Pathology Members of the genus Kudoa primarily infect muscle tissue of marine fishes, where they form nodules or pseudocysts containing a great number of individual spores. In lighter infections these pseudocysts are isolated from the fish s immune system within the muscle fibre. More intense infections can result in severe inflammation surrounding infected muscle fibres Ref Kent&Poppe . Although apparently asymptomatic in all but heavy infections, they are associated with post mortem degeneration of the tissue. This softening of flesh is most likely a result the release of proteolytic enzyme s by the parasite Ref Tsyuku . This causes losses to both aquaculture operations, for instance, where salmon are bei ... more details
