Abstract:
Endometrial cyst of the pancreas was first described in 1984. The condition is extremely rare, and only a few case reports have been described. Herein we present a case report of a peripancreatic endometriosis cyst in a perimenopausal woman. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and regression of the cyst during an observation period of a few months made the diagnosis most likely before laparoscopic surgery. Awareness of the condition, optimal preoperative imaging, and clinical features are discussed.

Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
