"Non rilevabili con la metodica tumefazioni a carattere espansivo della regione pancreatica in particolare a livello cefalico."

Sounds unlikely to have anything to do with the head/brain.

Suggestions?

The top part of the pancreas region

Direct translation is the high level of the pancreas, which in English doesn't have a perfect meaning, so (high level) would meant (the top part of the head of) pancreas. Another way of saying in Italian is: "a parte superiore dello cefalico"
Example sentence:

Another example could be " a livello dello stomaco
