Figure 3 Histological section of pancreatic tissue obtained via endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy. H&E staining reveals marked acinar atrophy (red arrows) and prominent stromal fibrosis (yellow arrow). There is a significant reduction in exocrine pancreatic parenchyma, replaced by fibrous tissue with scattered inflammatory infiltrates, consistent with chronic pancreatitis. No evidence of neoplastic cells or ductal atypia is observed.
