Becker initially reported GP in 1973, and the term was given by Malde DJ <jats:italic>et al<\/jats:italic>. to define this unique type of segmental pancreatitis. Most physicians are still unfamiliar with an entity. Radiological diagnosis can be arduous since it can be difficult to distinguish it from other conditions affecting the prior mentioned groove area, such as pancreatic head cancer. It is a rare pancreatic condition with a difficult imaging diagnosis that can lead to treatment dilemmas. The hour needs to identify the infinitesimal differences between these two pathological entities, as their management and treatment differ significantly. Here, we present a case of GP in a 21-year-old man and discuss how this entity appears on ultrasonography and computed tomography.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.25259\/jcis_69_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]],"date-time":"2022-09-15T07:03:30Z","timestamp":1663225410000},"page":"54","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Groove pancreatitis: A unique case of focal pancreatitis"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sejal Sanjeev","family":"Joshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Avinash","family":"Dhok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kajal","family":"Mitra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prashant","family":"Onkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/JCIS_69_2022\/ref-1","first-page":"598","article-title":"Pancreatic carcinoma masquerading as groove pancreatitis: Case report and review of literature","volume":"12","author":"Malde","year":"2011","journal-title":"JOP J Pancreas"},{"key":"10.25259\/JCIS_69_2022\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"911","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-199411000-00011","article-title":"CT findings in groove pancreatitis: Correlation with histopathological findings","volume":"18","author":"Itoh","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Comput Assist Tomogr"},{"key":"10.25259\/JCIS_69_2022\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e169","DOI":"10.1097\/MPA.0b013e3181ac73f1","article-title":"A comprehensive, case-based review of groove pancreatitis","volume":"38","author":"Levenick","year":"2009","journal-title":"Pancreas"},{"key":"10.25259\/JCIS_69_2022\/ref-4","first-page":"230","article-title":"Groove pancreatitis.
