Synonyms
- Cystic dystrophy of duodenal wall, pancreatic hamartoma of duodenal wall, periampullary duodenal wall cyst
Definitions
- Rare form of chronic pancreatitis affecting pancreaticoduodenal groove
- Pure form: Affects only pancreaticoduodenal groove
- Segmental form: Affects pancreaticoduodenal groove and extends medially into pancreatic head
- Pancreatic groove is theoretical space defined by pancreatic head (medially), 2nd portion of duodenum (laterally), 3rd portion of duodenum and inferior vena cava (posteriorly), and duodenal bulb (superiorly)
- Contains distal common bile duct (CBD), main/accessory pancreatic ducts, and major/minor papilla
- Rare form of chronic pancreatitis affecting pancreaticoduodenal groove
