Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

604
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
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...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

615
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

1.0K
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
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:

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Abdominal pain can be caused by various gastrointestinal conditions.
  • Mass-like lesions in the lesser omentum require thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • A 44-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain.
  • Imaging revealed a mass in the lesser omentum and a submucosal tumor-like change in the stomach.
  • Endoscopic ultrasonography confirmed the mass was extragastric.

Findings:

  • EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration led to the diagnosis of panniculitis of the lesser omentum.
  • Panniculitis presented as a distinct mass in the lesser omentum.

Implications:

  • Lesser omentum masses and gastric submucosal changes warrant evaluation for panniculitis.
  • This diagnosis expands the differential for unexplained abdominal masses.
