Sumario:As part of the aging process, fibrotic changes, fatty infiltration, and parenchymal atrophy develop in the pancreas. The pancreatic duct also becomes wider with age. This article provides an overview of the diameter of the pancreatic duct in different age groups and different examination methods. Knowledge of these data is useful to avoid misinterpretations regarding the differential diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis, obstructive tumors, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN).
