“…The spectrum of findings is large but the typical presentation involves focal thickening of the D2, cystic degeneration, and a "sheet-like" mass of fibrotic tissue within the groove [3] . Other changes that can be found include duct abnormalities (dilation, atrophy, and irregularity) and signs of chronic pancreatitis [3] .…”

“…Its pathophysiology remains unclear, although it is believed that alcohol consumption and the presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue in the duodenal wall may play a major role in its development [2] . Through the last years, its treatment has been a topic of discussion in the literature, with the proposal of a wide range of conservative and surgical approaches [3] . Nowadays, the consensus is to initially prefer medical or endoscopic treatment, surgery being reserved to patients with uncertain diagnosis or symptoms that do not improve with other measures [4] .…”

Background: Paraduodenal pancreatitis is a rare cause of chronic abdominal pain characterized by an inflammatory process and scarring in the groove area between the pancreatic head and the duodenal wall. Besides abdominal pain, symptoms such as vomiting and weight loss are common. Currently, advances in radiological and endoscopic diagnostic methods allow it to be identified without histological confirmation, although the differentiation from pancreatic adenocarcinoma could be challenging in some cases. Many therapeutic options are available nowadays including pharmacological, endoscopic, or surgical treatment. Methods: We report 3 cases of paraduodenal pancreatitis that had different therapeutic approaches. Results and Conclusion: They show that this pathology should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses with duodenal infiltration, and that its management should be individualized and judicious.

Groove pancreatitis is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis, affecting the area between the duodenum, common bile duct and pancreatic head. The pathophysiology of groove pancreatitis is unclear, and several mechanisms have been proposed. This disease can mimic duodenal, pancreatic or periampular neoplasms. We present a series of 4 patients diagnosed of groove pancreatitis at a tertiary medical center over a 3-year period. Three of the patients were surgically treated, recovering weight and removing pain. The other one was treated with medical treatment. Same results were observed. Brief review of the literature was performed.

HighlightsParaduodenal pancreatitis is a rare form of focal chronic or recurrent pancreatitis that can present as gastric outlet obstruction.Endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy provides the best diagnostic modality.Key histopathologic features include Brunner gland hyperplasia, myofibroblastic proliferation, spindle cells and foamy cells.Cross-sectional imaging demonstrates a fibrotic, sheet-like mass with cystic change between the duodenal wall and pancreatic head.The optimal treatment for refractory symptoms is pancreaticoduodenectomy.
