Abstract     In the retrospective study 54 tissue specimens obtained from pancreas were analysed. Tumour-like lesions were the most frequent pathological findings, observed in 34 of 54 cases of chronic pancreatitis. Among malignant tumours of the exocrine pancraas ductal adenocarcinoma was by far the most common type found in 17 of 20 cases. Since tumour-like lesions may be clinically mistaken for neoplastic growth pathohistological examination is of utmost importance for separation of these entities.
