Abstract:
A case of ampullary cancer, the first clinical manifestation of which was two episodes of acute pancreatitis is presented with review of the literature on the possible role of this type of cancer as a causal agent of episodes of acute pancreatitis. We support the use of ERCP in all patients with acute idiopathic pancreatitis with the aim of discarding the possibility of a tributary ampullary tumor of curative removal.
