Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) ranges from a mild self-limiting disease to a life-threatening condition with multiple organ failure. The corresponding morphological pictures are edematous-interstitial pancreatitis (EIP) and necrotizing pancreatitis (NP). Mild pancreatitis responds to conservative treatment, which results in an improvement within days and usually in complete healing within a few weeks [1]. Severe necrotizing pancreatitis is characterized by a complicated course and frequently has a lethal outcome [2].
