Pancreas: Chronic pancreatitis. The histopathologic features of chronic pancreatitis consist of necrosis and loss of acinar cells, dense fibrosis and lymphoplasmacytic infiltration in the exocrine pancreas, although the islets usually remain intact in the lesions. On autopsy, the pancreas is firm and nodular. The incidence of chronic pancreatitis is very rare.
