Core Tip	This is a retrospective study of 90 patients with a pancreatic hypoechoic masses. We found that contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CH-EUS) can be used for distinguishing between pancreatic adenocarcinoma (n = 62) and other pancreatic disease based on the hypoenhanced pattern on CH-EUS. When considering pancreatic adenocarcinomas as a tumor with a hypoenhanced pattern in CH-EUS and/or showing a positive result in EUS-fine needle aspiration, the sensitivity of detecting pancreatic malignancy increased to 100%.
