Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis, also referred to as autoimmune pancreatitis, is a benign disease characterized by irregular narrowing of the pancreatic duct, swelling of the pancreatic parenchyma, lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and fibrosis. A few cases with locally affected lesions show features similar to cancer. Lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis is the most common benign disease in patients undergoing Whipple resection for a presumed pancreatic malignancy. We report a case of lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis diagnosed after surgery in a patient presenting with obstructive jaundice, with a review of the literature.
