Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis (LPSP) is a rare pancreatic condition.
  • It often presents diagnostic challenges due to its potential to mimic neoplastic processes.

Observation:

  • A 61-year-old woman presented with left flank pain and normal pancreatic enzymes.
  • Imaging revealed pancreatic tail thickening and ductal compression, with differentials including chronic pancreatitis and malignancy.
  • Surgical exploration and resection were performed.

Findings:

  • Gross examination showed a firm, yellowish-white mass in the pancreatic tail.
  • Histological analysis revealed extensive fibrosis with a mixed inflammatory infiltrate, including lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils surrounding ducts.
  • No evidence of malignancy was found.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of LPSP is crucial to avoid unnecessary aggressive treatment for presumed cancer.
  • Understanding the distinct histological features of LPSP aids in differentiating it from pancreatic neoplasms.
  • This case contributes to the literature on LPSP, emphasizing its rare but significant clinical presentation.
