La pancreatitis del surco o groove pancreatitis es un subtipo muy infrecuente de pancreatitis crónica de etiología incierta que ocurre en el surco pancreático duodenal, y suele afectar a varones alcohólicos de mediana edad. Debido a su baja incidencia probablemente haya sido en el pasado infradiagnosticada. El diagnóstico diferencial con otras entidades duodenales y pancreáticas primordialmente el cáncer de páncreas, pese a los avances diagnósticos es aún muy difícil. No existen guías terapéuticas definidas que nos permiten el tratamiento más óptimo. Hemos efectuado una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura de la clínica, patogenia, histología,métodos diagnósticos, diagnóstico diferencial y maniobras terapéuticas de la pancreatitis del surco que permiten un mejor conocimiento de esta entidad.
Groove pancreatitis is a type of chronic pancreatitis that affects the area between the pancreatic head, the duodenum and the common bile duct and can simulate, mask or coexist with pancreatic carcinoma. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses or duodenal stenosis. It is a rare disease but is probably underdiagnosed. Several names are used to refer to it in the literature, a fact that makes it difficult to extract precise information. Here we present an exhaustive review of the relevant literature on the entity and discuss its clinical features, diagnosis and therapy.
