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 pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia and pancreatic tumors.
Pancreatic lipomatosis is a common finding. This case shows moderate to severe lipomatosis, with mainly interlobular but also scattered intralobular fatty infiltration. Reporting is optional in at least mild to moderate cases.
Stages of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia.[2]
