  • Title: The pancreas in AIDS.
    Author: Cappell MS.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin North Am; 1997 Jun; 26(2):337-65. PubMed ID: 9187928.
    Abstract:
    Although autopsy studies reveal significant pancreatic lesions in about 10% of AIDS patients, pancreatic lesions infrequently produce symptoms and are rarely recognized premortem. Patients with AIDS can develop pancreatic disease from causes not related to AIDS or AIDS-specific lesions. AIDS-specific causes include opportunistic infection, AIDS-associated neoplasia, and medications used to treat complications of AIDS. Pancreatic involvement is usually part of a widely disseminated tumor and rarely produces clinical symptoms.
