CT scans were reviewed to detect pancreatic lesion as well as to characterise them into either diseases or masses by looking radiological signs. Statistical Analysis for descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation, percentages and proportion were used. Chi square test and Fischer’s exact probability test were used as a test of significance. Total 50 study subjects participated in the study. Pancreatic disorders were more common in males than in females. In the present study 35 (70%) were males and 15 (30%) were females. The commonest age group affected was between 20-40 years.
