Autoimmune pancreatitis can develop into chronic pancreatitis. Sequential progression mechanism of AIP to confirmed chronic pancreatitis. (A) Narrowing of both Wirsung’s and Santorini’s ducts (arrows) by pancreatic head swelling causes pancreatic juice stasis in the upstream pancreatic duct. (B) Pancreatic juice stasis results in increased intra-pancreatic duct pressure that is resistant to typical AIP-specific MPD narrowing in the pancreatic body region, leading to MPD non-narrowing in this region (arrowheads). (C) In concert with relapse, these events finally result in severe calcification. (From Ref.[54]).

siehe auchPancreatic calcifications can arise from many etiologies.
Punctate intraductal calcifications
- chronic pancreatitis
- alcoholic pancreatitis (20-40%)
- intraductal, numerous, small, irregular
- preponderant cause of diffuse pancreatic intraductal calcification
- gallstone pancreatitis (2%)
- much less commonly associated with calcifications
- hyperparathyroidism (10%)
- most also have nephrocalcinosis or urolithiasis (70%)
- alcoholic pancreatitis (20-40%)
- kwashiorkor
- calcifications are common
- manifest in the pediatric population
- hemochromatosis
- idiopathic: no underlying cause can be determined
Smaller intraductal calcifications
- senile
- usually in patients aged over 70 years
- scattered
- number of calcifications increase with age
- cystic fibrosis: finely granular calcifications in smallest ducts in end stage disease with pancreatic failure
- atherosclerotic calcifications
- chronic pancreatitis
Larger intraductal calcifications
- hereditary pancreatitis
- autosomal dominant 9% penetrance
- large rounded shape
- peaks at 5-17 years
- chronic pancreatitis
- gallstone migration
- tropical pancreatitis: young patients in tropical countries
Dystrophic calcification
- old insult
- old infection
- old infarction
- old trauma
- pancreatic tumors
- islet cell tumors: especially non-functional tumors; 20% islet cell tumors
- calcified metastasis
- colon
- renal
- cystic pancreatic neoplasms
- mucinous (macrocystic) cystadenomas and carcinomas: mucus in tumor rarely calcifies; cysts >2 cm
- serous (microcystic) cystadenomas and carcinomas: commonly calcify, characteristically as a central calcified scar with radiating calcified septations
- intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms: widened pancreatic duct extensive mucus
- solid and pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm
- rare: in young women. commonly calcifies. characteristically punctate, peripheral calcifications.
- pancreatoblastoma: rare. ~ 20% calcify
- cavernous lymphangioma / hemangioma (multiple phleboliths)
Note: adenocarcinomas of the pancreas do not generally calcify; rather, they typically engulf previously present adjacent calcifications.
Pancreatic calcification mimics
- atherosclerosis of splenic artery and intrapancreatic arterioles
- oral contrast in duodenal diverticula
