*Hypoplasia of [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Endocrine|panceatic islets]] where [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology|exocrine]] cells are functional
*Hypoplasia of [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Endocrine|panceatic islets]] where [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology|exocrine]] cells are functional
*Degeneration of the [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Endocrine|islet]] cells occurs in [[Pancreas - degenerative#Acute pancreatic necrosis|acute pancreatic necrosis]] along with acinar tissue necrosis, atrophy occurs during [[Pancreas Inflammatory - Pathology#Chronic interstitial pancreatitis|chronic interstitial pancreatitis]]
