Abstract:
A case of anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal junction is reported in which the choledochus was not dilated but had significant histopathologic changes in its wall. This case suggests that early operative resection of the choledochus is indicated even if choledochal dilatation is minimal in order to prevent the occurrence of carcinoma in the long term.

The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.

The organ's surface has a lumpy, lobular texture that gives it a unique appearance.
The broad head of the pancreas lies within the loop formed by the duodenum, while its slender body reaches towards the spleen. The tail of the pancreas is short and...
