Well defined fat density mass lesion occupying most of the pancreatic head and uncinate process with no perceptible enhancement, calcification or fat stranding,
The appendix is fluid-filled and distended surrounded by fat stranding and free fluid, in keeping with acute appendicitis (on the coronal images).

Appendicitis was the definitive diagnosis as the radiological findings and the clinical suspicion was pointing to appendicitis.
