Intrapancreatic Enteric Duplication Cyst Masquerading as Groove Pancreatitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intrapancreatic enteric duplication cysts are exceedingly rare, and the clinical presentation varies. We present a 48-year-old man with significant alcohol and tobacco abuse and a diagnosis of groove pancreatitis complicated by a pancreatic duct stricture, pseudocyst, and recurrent biliary obstruction. Due to failure of endoscopic therapy and concerning findings on endoscopic ultrasound with negative pathology, he underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pathology revealed an intrapancreatic enteric duplication cyst, minimal chronic pancreatitis changes associated with pancreaticobiliary strictures, and no evidence of malignancy. This rare diagnosis should be considered in the differential for patients with idiopathic recurrent pancreaticobiliary duct strictures and pancreatic pseudomasses.

متن کاملTwo Cases of Plug or Stone in Remnant Intrapancreatic Choledochal Cysts Treated with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
Incomplete resection of choledochal cysts (CCs) that extend deep into the pancreas can lead to protein plug or stone formation, pancreatitis, and cholangiocarcinoma. We encountered two cases of choledocholithiasis in remnant intrapancreatic CCs, in which the patients exhibited symptoms after 3 and 21 years of cyst excision. A 21-year-old woman who had undergone excision of a CC, as a neonate, p...

In female patients, however, attention must be paid since these formations might be confused with ovarian cysts.
