Significance and Prevalence of Haziness Surrounding the Hepatic Artery and Celiac Axis on Computed Tomographic Imaging After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Conclusions Mild to moderate soft tissue stranding with increased attenuation around the hepatic artery and celiac axis is a common finding after pancreaticoduodenectomy that may persist for years after surgery. Such haziness alone has low specificity for tumor recurrence and should not be regarded as an indicator of malignancy.
