Groove
Pancreatitis (GP) is a kind of chronic pancreatitis with a clear pathological
diagnosis. It’s characterized by
fibrotic scarring of the gastroduodenal groove, an anatomical area near the
pancreatic head, duodenum and common bile duct (CBD).
Its etiology is
not clear. GP may be related to alcoholism, weight loss, biliary tract disease,
pancreatic cysts and so on. Its incidence rate of GP is low and the diagnosis
is difficult.
The purpose of
this essay is to report a case of GP. A 56-year-old woman is admitted to
hospital with painless systemic jaundice as her only symptom and the symptom
aggravated in two months.
