It is often difficult at operation to distinguish between a benign and a resectable malignant mass in the head of the pancreas.Mistakes of diagnosis are made in both directions, as is amply shown by a review of the literature. Correct diagnosis is of great importance if patients with early malignant disease are to be cured and if patients with benign lesions are to be saved unnecessary resections.Conventional biopsy is not routinely done because of the dangers of hemorrhage or fistula formation and because the biopsy specimen cannot be relied upon for a correct diagnosis.The Vim-SiIverman needle appears to offer a safe and reliable method of biopsy of the pancreas or of the liver. Further experience with this method of biopsy is necessary for its final evaluation.
