Abstract

Background: The diagnosis of minimal change chronic pancreatitis (CP) is challenging. The role of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is controversial. At least 3-5 out of 9 possible EUS criteria are generally required to suggest this diagnosis. No previous series comparing EUS with histopathology has included significant numbers of patients with minimal change or non-calcific CP. Aim: To compare EUS imaging to histology in patients with clinically suspected CP undergoing total pancreatectomy with autologous islet cell transplantation (TP/ AIT).
