Abstract

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive, destructive, inflammatory process that lead to total destruction of the pancreas resulting in malabsorption, diabetes mellitus, and severe pain. Histologically, CP is characterized by atrophy and fibrosis of the exocrine tissue with or without chronic inflammation. Scarring of the parenchyma can be focal or patchy initially and may progress to become diffuse. The progressive loss of acinar tissue may lead to exocrine insufficiency and, ultimately, loss of islet tissue with diabetes
