Abstract

Context:

Congenital cystic lesions of the pancreas are rare findings. Furthermore, a dermoid cyst of the pancreas is exceptionally uncommon. A review of the world literature shows 18 documented cases. The pre-operative evaluation of this lesion is rather questionable, with definitive diagnosis taking place intra-operatively.

Case Report:

A 52-year-old male with a symptomatic, 3-cm cystic-type mass in the pancreas.

Conclusions:

From our case presentation and review of the world literature, we hope to establish an increased awareness in the diagnostic evaluation of these patients.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

Chronic pancreatitis is a long-standing, relapsing inflammation of the pancreas, characterized by irreversible damage to the gland. It results in progressive destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma, fibrosis, and eventual loss of both exocrine and endocrine function. The disease may evolve gradually after multiple episodes of acute pancreatitis or develop independently.EtiologyChronic pancreatitis can arise from a variety of causes:Alcohol use is the leading cause, accounting for 70–80% of...
