Thre Cases of Mucinous Ductal Ectasia of the Pancreas Which Were Diagnosed by Duodenoscopic Findings / 대한소화기내시경학회지

ABSTRACT

We have experienced three cases of mucinous ductal ectasia of the pancreas. They showed the characteristic duodenoscopic findings and underlying pathology was hyperplasia in two cases and adenocarcinoma in one case. When endoscopic retrograde pancreatography was performed, bulging ampulla of Vater, patulous ampullary orifice and mucus leakage from papillary orifice were noted. Also cyst-like dilatation of main duct or side branch of the uncinate process were observed.
