The concept of early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) and its diagnostic criteria were first proposed by Japan, using endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) findings for diagnosis. However, these findings have not been supported by pathological findings. We aimed to examine the association between the EUS and pathological findings of the same area of the pancreas.
