Popis: Groove pancreatitis is a very uncommon type of chronic pancreatitis of uncertain etiology that occurs in the pancreatoduodenal groove. Despite the great advances in imaging techniques, making a definitive diagnosis is difficult because of the complex anatomy of this area. Therefore, surgical treatment is often required due to the impossibility of excluding malignancy. We present the case of a patient with a history of chronic pancreatitis admitted due to duodenal obstruction. The diagnosis was difficult, especially for the need to exclude the neoplasms of the duodenal-pancreatic area. Endoscopic ultrasound was essential to establish a definitive diagnosis, allowing FNAP and correct assessment of the duodenal wall.
