description A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with epigastric pain and vomiting. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed inflammatory change of the pancreatic groove and focal wall thickening of the second portion of the duodenum with several cystic lesions around the head of the pancreas. We diagnosed atypical type of groove pancreatitis. The patient made a satisfactory recovery by conservative medication treatment for acute on chronic pancreatitis and cystic lesions disappeared in parallel with pancreatitis. Groove pancreatitis is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis, and to the best of our knowledge, our patient is the first case in the English literature of groove pancreatitis with cystic lesions around the head of the pancreas, which disappeared after conservative treatment for pancreatitis.
