Etymology[edit]

pancreato- +‎ -pathy

Noun[edit]

pancreatopathy (countable and uncountable, plural pancreatopathies)

  1. A disease of the pancreas.
    • 2000, Keith Dewbury, Clinical Ultrasound: A Comprehensive Text, volume 1, page 363:
      For example, in gallstone pancreatitis only the ventral pancreas may be affected, whereas because drainage via the minor papilla is more precarious, obstructive pancreatopathy may be confined to the dorsal portion.
