A and B, Axial (A) and coronal (B) contrast-enhanced CT images show infiltrating crescentic soft tissue (arrows) in pancreaticoduodenal groove with multiple cystic spaces. Given her long history, this was prospectively thought to represent groove or chronic pancreatitis, and patient underwent Whipple procedure because of continued inability to control her pain symptoms. Diagnosis of groove pancreatitis was confirmed on postsurgical pathology.
