Abstract:
We present three cases of recurrent pancreatitis that occurred in patients with small islet cell tumours of the pancreas which were obstructing the main pancreatic duct. This is a very uncommon presentation of pancreatic islet cell tumours. The radiological findings in these cases are shown and the implications for imaging of 'idiopathic' relapsing pancreatitis are discussed.
