Unfortunately, calcifications occur late in the course of chronic pancreatitis, being associated with severe disease. Most pancreatic calculi are small, irregular calcifications that may be diffuse ( Fig. 99-30) or confined to a specific region of the pancreas.

Pancreatic cancer occurs when changes (mutations) in the pancreas cells lead them to multiply out of control. A mass of tissue can result. Sometimes, this mass is benign (not cancerous). In pancreatic cancer, however, the mass is malignant (cancerous).
Pancreatic cystic lesions are infrequent but can pose a diagnostic challenge. They can represent simple cysts, pseudocysts due to previous acute or chronic pancreatitis or cystic pancreatic tumors.
A primary or metastatic malignant tumor involving the pancreas. Representative examples include carcinoma and lymphoma.

What is exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)? EPI occurs when your pancreas doesn't make enough digestive enzymes. Sometimes the enzymes don't work as they should. Enzymes are proteins that cause chemical reactions in your body. Digestive enzymes break down food, allowing your body to get nutrients.
Summary. Primary atrophy of the pancreas is an unusual pancreatic disease characterized pathologically by almost complete disappearance of the acinar cells and by disappearance of the islets of Langerhans to a lesser extent.
Steatorrhea is one of the clinical features of fat malabsorption and noted in many conditions such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), celiac disease, and tropical sprue. An increase in the fat content of stools results in the production of pale, large volume, malodorous, loose stools.

Problems with the pancreas can lead to many health problems. These include. pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas: this happens when digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas itself. cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder in which thick, sticky mucus can also block tubes in your pancreas.
In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked them. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas loses the ability to secrete enough insulin in response to meals.
It produces juices that help break down food and hormones that help control blood sugar levels. Problems with the pancreas can lead to many health problems.
Clinical Information. A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder that affects the pancreas. Representative examples of non-neoplastic disorders include pancreatitis and pancreatic insufficiency. Representative examples of neoplastic disorders include cystadenomas, carcinomas, lymphomas, and neuroendocrine neoplasms.

Pancreatic parenchymal fibrosis resulting from chronic, progressive inflammation, most often on basis of alcohol abuse. ○. Calcifications (usually multiple) can be either parenchymal or intraductal, ranging in size from punctate to large (~ 1 cm) –. Calcifications most commonly occur in pancreatic head (and may be clustered in that location)
Pancreatic pseudocysts sometimes have curvilinear calcification in the cyst wall ( Fig. 4-56 ). These calcifications can be thick and diffuse and may involve the entire periphery of the pseudocyst. When they involve only a portion of the cyst, they are curvilinear and indistinguishable from calcifications seen in cystic neoplasms.
Irrespective of etiology, the clinical pattern of chronic pancreatitis is characterized by the recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis in the early stages followed by pancreatic insufficiency, steatorrhea, pancreatic calcification and, maybe, diabetes mellitus at the chronic stage.
They develop in 40% to 60% of patients with alcoholic pancreatitis, and approximately 90% of calcific pancreatitis is caused by alcoholism. Unfortunately, calcifications occur late in the course of chronic pancreatitis, being associated with severe disease.
Other unusual causes of intraparenchymal pancreatic calcifications include previous trauma, hematoma, abscess, and infarction. A calcified aneurysm of the adjacent celiac or splenic artery may simulate an intrapancreatic mass.
Mucinous cystic neoplasms contain peripheral curvilinear calcifications in approximately 15% of cases ( Fig. 4-57 ). Compared with pseudocysts, however, the calcification involves only a portion of the wall or septation and is curvilinear in appearance. Microcystic adenomas occasionally show stellate calcification within a central fibrous scar on plain films or CT.
Chronic or calcifying pancreatitis is a continuing inflammatory response characterized by severe morphological changes (such as irregular sclerosis and permanent loss of exocrine parenchyma), which may be focal, segmental, or diffused. Clinically, chronic pancreatitis is characterized by recurrent or persisting abdominal pain, although chronic pancreatitis may also present without pain. Chronic pancreatitis does not resolve by itself and could progress to a slow destruction of the pancreatic gland. Irrespective of etiology, the clinical pattern of chronic pancreatitis is characterized by the recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis in the early stages followed by pancreatic insufficiency, steatorrhea, pancreatic calcification and, maybe, diabetes mellitus at the chronic stage. However, an intra-acinar activation of zymogens in the gland itself is the primary cause of pancreatic injury and pancreatitis ( Lankisch and Banks, 1998 ).
