Abstract:
A case report of atypical postoperative pancreatitis following radical prostatectomy without any clinical symptoms is presented. The patient was asymptomatic in the postoperative period with regards to pancreas disease. Serum lipase, serum amylase and urinary amylase were normal. There was no history of alcoholism or biliary disease. The diagnosis was made by a CAT scan performed for an unrelated indication. The patient was followed for 17 months postoperatively. The pancreas CAT scan appearance returned to normal. No definitive treatment was given.
