Nodular Elastosis of the Pancreas

الملخص EN

Elastofibromatous change is a benign process that has been increasingly recognized in the tubular gastrointestinal tract.

These changes can present as a colonic polyp or be seen in conjunction with inflammatory changes.

Similar lesions have been noted in the liver, apparently associated with vascular injury.

We describe a case in which multiple circumscribed nodules of elastofibromatous change within the pancreas had a similar morphology to nodular elastosis of the liver.

To our knowledge, this is the first description of such a finding occurring within the pancreas.
