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).
Microscopic examination
Look for tumors. Further information: Evaluation of tumors
