OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the CT characteristics
in patients with Clonorchis sinensis pancreatitis. CONCLUSION: CT showed
that in the presence of diffuse mild intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, the
enlargement of the body or tail (or both) of the pancreas, with a cluster
of small cystic changes within the pancreatic parenchyma, was strong
evidence for the possibility of C. sinensis pancreatitis.
