The pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ that has two functions: exocrine-produces pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes in order to break down all categories of digestible foods and endocrine-produces several important hormones. Here are some of the pancreas diseases: Benign tumours, Carcinoma of pancreas, Cystic fibrosis, Diabetes, Pancreatitis, Pancreatic pseudocyst.
