“This concise book describes different types of pancreatic masses and their diagnostic workup and treatment and includes some useful tables and diagnostic algorithms. … The intended audience is practicing clinicians, but with its short chapters on a variety of topics, this is also a very good book for students and residents. … It is very useful for day-to-day practice and for students or residents as a study resource.” (Carlos H. F. Chan, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
