Here we report a case of XGP initially suspected as malignant cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. A 64-year-old man had been incidentally found to have hypodense lesion at the body of pancreas during a lung cancer workup. All laboratory tests were within normal limits except that ...

Xanthogranulomatous Pancreatitis Combined with Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Carcinoma In Situ

Xanthogranulomatous lesion is a rare condition in which lipid-laden histiocytes are deposited at various locations in the body. Xanthogranulomatous pancreatitis (XGP) associated with an intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (IPMT) is extremely rare. In this study, we described a case of XGP associated with IPMT and include a review of the literature. A pancreatic cystic mass was detected in a 72...

Xanthogranulomatous Pancreatitis Mimicking a Pancreatic Cancer on CT and MRI: a Case Report and Literature Review

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation, a rare variant of chronic inflammation, is histologically characterized by lipid-laden foamy macrophages accompanied by other inflammatory cells including lymphocytes, plasma cell, neutrophil, and eosinophil (1). Although many organs such as kidney, gallbladder, gastrointestinal tract, skin, bone and genital organs involving xanthogranulomatous inflammation hav...
