Although autopsy studies reveal significant pancreatic lesions in about 10% of AIDS patients, pancreatic lesions infrequently produce symptoms and are rarely recognized premortem. Patients with AIDS can develop pancreatic disease from causes not related to AIDS or AIDS-specific lesions. AIDS-specific causes include opportunistic infection, AIDS-associated neoplasia, and medications used to treat complications of AIDS. Pancreatic involvement is usually part of a widely disseminated tumor and rarely produces clinical symptoms.
尽管尸检研究显示约10%的艾滋病患者存在明显的胰腺病变，但胰腺病变很少产生症状，且生前很少被识别。艾滋病患者可因与艾滋病无关或艾滋病特异性病变以外的原因发生胰腺疾病。艾滋病特异性病因包括机会性感染、艾滋病相关肿瘤以及用于治疗艾滋病并发症的药物。胰腺受累通常是广泛播散性肿瘤的一部分，很少产生临床症状。
