Endometriosis Beyond the Pelvis: A Case of Pancreatic Involvement

The prevalence of dysmenorrhea, the pain while menstruating, is high. Although most cases are benign, there should be a high suspicion of other etiologies such as endometriosis with recurrent episodes. Inaccurate or delayed diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis can lead to increased hospital visits and costs. We report the case of a 46-year-old female with a history of frequent hospital visits due to dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia, presented with clinical, laboratory, and image findings of pancreatitis with biopsy revealing endometriosis. This case report aims to highlight pancreatic endometriosis, a different and rare cause of pancreatitis, which should be suspected in cases of recurrent hospital visits with recurrent menstrual pain and abnormal presentation of pancreatitis.
