Abstract
The pancreas and the biliary tract are frequent sites of infectious, Inflammatory, and neoplastic disease in patients with HIV infection. However, the symptoms of pancreaticobiliary involvement may be relatively mild so that the prevalence of these disorders is probably underestimated. An appreciation of the imaging findings of HIV-associated pancreaticobiliary disorders is important because involvement of these organs may be the only criterion that establishes the diagnosis of AIDS (Table 1).
