Fig. 8

A and B, Axial (A) and coronal (B) contrast-enhanced CT images show subtle thickening between duodenum and pancreas, with cystic focus (arrows) in pancreaticoduodenal groove. ERCP showed irregular stricture of distal common bile duct, which was thought to be concerning for malignancy (although brush biopsy results were negative). Diagnosis of groove pancreatitis was confirmed on postsurgical pathology.
