A couple questions relating to pancreas
Subject: A couple questions relating to pancreas

This is a patient with advanced pancreatic cancer.  Here's the part I'm having trouble with.  He was admitted to the hospital.  "The patient did undergo attempts at [s/l ESRT or "e ester tee"?].  However, the tumor was protruding through the duodenum [s/l ambule] and common bile duct cannot be cannulated.  He was determined to be unresectable and underwent a choledochojejunostomy, gastrojejunostomy, and enteroenterostomy for diversion."  Whew!  Any ideas?

Subject: scan revealed nodular s/l ace-ee-iss entry into the head of the pancreas

Can't make out this word.  Sounds like ace-ee-iss with the stress on ace.  Here's the whole sentence.  "A CT of the abdomen with contrast revealed nodular [ace-ee-iss?] entry into the head of the pancreas and the omental fat, which was felt to represent adenopathy or recurrent tumor."  Any ideas?  Thanks!
