From April 1998 to June 2001, ultrasound had diagnosed the tumors at the pancrea head in 80 patients and they were operated at Viet Duc Hospital. Among these subjects, there were 43 tumors of pancrea head, 14 tumors of inferior part of common bile duct, 18 tumors ooffvater ampulla, 2 tumors of duodenal, 2 chronical pancreatitis and 1 unspecific fibroma of liver external bile duct. Among 77 patients of tumor of pancrea head definitely diagnosed, there are 3 falsely positive cases and 3 negative cases by ultrasound.
