PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The uncinate process is a prolongation at the junction of the lower and left lateral border of the pancreatic head. The word “uncinate” comes from the latin “uncinatus, ‘’ meaning “hooked” [1]. The pancreas develops from the two endodermal buds which arise from the caudal part of the foregut [2].

Detailed explanation-2: -In the final anatomic arrangement, the head of the pancreas originates from both the dorsal pancreas and the ventral pancreas. The ventral pancreas portion is called the uncinate process. The body and tail of the pancreas originate from the dorsal pancreas.
