1. The anatomy and vascular supply of the uncinate process of the pancreas are reviewed.
2. Carcinoma of the uncinate process tends to involve the dorsal pancreatic artery and its branches in a characteristic fashion. This abnormal pattern can be detected by selective celiac arteriography.
3. Selective superior mesenteric arteriography should also be performed in these cases. Involvement of this vessel or its main branches indicates that the lesion is not surgically curable.
