Abstract
The morphology of the pancreas and the basic relationships of the pancreas with other organs are well known to the pancreatic surgeon and others who have a particular interest in pancreatic function and pancreatic diseases. It does not seem worthwhile to restate these fundamental concepts. Rather, the approach of this presentation is to consider the ways the pancreas relates to other organs, and to concentrate on those anatomical and functional relationships that might have some relevance to the understanding and/or treatment of pancreatic disease. The goal is to give some anatomical correlates of inflammation, metastases, fibrosis, and pain, by considering selected observations that concern the pancreas proper as well as other structures.
