Abstract
PARGA-BERMUDEZ,, Julián Ernesto and GOMEZ-ZULETA., Martín Alonso. Groove pancreatitis mimicking pancreatic cancer: Case report and literature review. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, suppl.1, pp.19-25. Epub Feb 18, 2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.505.
Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis located in the pancreaticoduodenal groove, hence its name. It is predominant in males with a history of alcohol intake. Making a differential diagnosis between this condition and pancreatic cancer is highly relevant given its location. Advances in diagnostic methods, such as endoscopic ultrasonography, have allowed a more accurate approach. However, no management guidelines are available and therapeutic approaches are still based on similar pathologies.
