Tx Topic - Pancreas Allograft Figure 8. Chronic pancreatitis in a native pancreas. Although chronic pancreatitis usually shows fibrosis with sparse lymphocytic infiltrates, occasional areas may show eosinophils and heavier infiltrates resembling acute rejection. The infiltrates in chronic pancreatitis are not associated with venous endotheliitis or marked acinar involvement.
Ductal inflammation is very common in chronic pancreatitis.
