Abstract:
A 68-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a suspicious tumor in the body of the pancreas, along with a dilated main pancreatic duct and edema of the pancreatic tail. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography was performed after treating the patient's pancreatitis. When a cannula tip was advanced beyond the stenosis, deep into the distal pancreatic duct, thick white pus was evacuated. A bacteriological examination of the aspirated pancreatic juice revealed Enterobacter cloacae, and a cytological examination revealed adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis was acute obstructive suppurative pancreatic ductitis associated with pancreatic carcinoma.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
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:
Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Pancreatic Juice and Secretion
When acidic chyme from the stomach enters the duodenum, it triggers the release of secretin, a hormone that prompts pancreatic juice secretion. After a fatty meal, cholecystokinin, another hormone, stimulates gallbladder contraction and enhances enzyme-rich...
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
