Brief Answer:
Parenchyma (functional part) of pancreas not normal due to abnormality

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. This is a very general statement as the abnormalities can consist of different things hypoechoic or hyperechoic strands or foci, or lobulations, and so on. Basically they mean that the parenchyma of the pancreas (which is the functional part of the pancreas) is not normal throughout the pancreas. It could indicate some abnormality in the pancreas (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, etc.).

I know these terms can be difficult to understand, but the basic jist of that statement means that the normal functioning of the entire pancreas is not taking place due to some abnormality.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
