    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Colonic stricture is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis. In most cases, conservative treatment resolves the stricture, which may mimic colon cancer on imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas.
    • Colonic strictures are uncommon complications of pancreatitis.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of colonic stricture in patients with acute pancreatitis were analyzed.
    • Two cases demonstrated resolution of stricture with conservative management.

    Findings:

    • Colonic stricture in pancreatitis is often due to edema and spasm.
    • Pericolic fibrosis can lead to imaging findings resembling colon carcinoma, such as "apple-core lesions" on barium enema.

    Implications:

    • Conservative management may be effective for pancreatitis-induced colonic strictures.
    • Radiologists and clinicians should consider pancreatitis as a differential diagnosis for colonic strictures, especially "apple-core lesions".
