Pancreatic islet cell tumours presenting as recurrent acute pancreatitis: imaging features in three cases

Australasian Radiology
D RamsayR Mendelson

Abstract

We present three cases of recurrent pancreatitis that occurred in patients with small islet cell tumours of the pancreas which were obstructing the main pancreatic duct. This is a very uncommon presentation of pancreatic islet cell tumours. The radiological findings in these cases are shown and the implications for imaging of 'idiopathic' relapsing pancreatitis are discussed.
