We report a case of groove pancreatitis in which clinical and endoscopic findings improved with conservative treatment. Most authors suggest more aggressive management, such as Whipple’s surgery because of its similar findings to pancreatic carcinoma. Groove pancreatitis is a rare condition that requires more studies to establish diagnostic criteria to better classify the disease’s stage and direct appropriated therapy for the patient, improving morbidity and survival of this disease.
Groove pancreatitis, pancreatic carcinoma, duodenopancreatectomy.
