Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX

I have gone through the xray report of this 64 years old female patient. If I was her caring doctor would advise to run ct-scan of abdomen immediately to evaluate and determine that finding in her pancreas.
It may be related with:
Inflamation
cystic lessoin
Pancreatic tumor
Let me know if you need further assistance!
