In autopsy

Inspect the pancreas regarding color and consistency. ((Separate it and measure its dimensions.))

Cut it in consecutive short axis slices.[notes 2] Note the appearance of the parenchyma (and the size of the duct).

Notes

  1. Upper limit is calculated as mean plus 2 standard deviations.
  2. The pancreas may also be cut in the longitudinal plane.
