Crisis hipercalcémica como causa de pancreatitis aguda / Hypercalcemia as a cause of acute pancreatitis. Report of one case

Severe hypercalcemia may cause acute pancreatitis. We report a 75-yearold male presenting with abdominal pain and confusion. The initial laboratory showed elevated amylase levels and a serum calcium of 19.0 mg/dl with highly elevated parathormone levels. An abdominal CT scan disclosed pancreatitis. A neck CT scan showed a parathyroid tumor, which was successfully excised. The pathology of the surgical piece showed a parathyroid adenoma.

Acute pancreatitis and COVID-19: a new target for infection?

ABSTRACT This review aimed to investigate whether SARS-CoV-2 is capable of infecting the gland and causing acute pancreatitis, and the peculiarities in the management of these cases. The research was conducted through PubMed® database, and 62 articles were systematically selected for analysis. Differences were found in the literature; however, there are important warnings, such as the presence of hyperlipasemia, clinical and imaging findings suggestive of acute pancreatitis in the presence and even in the absence of respiratory symptoms. Attention should be paid to clinical and imaging findings during this virus infection, since it is possible to identify these two diseases early. Therefore, it is possible to detect and isolate these patients more quickly, providing the correct care and decreasing the morbidity and mortality of two potentially severe diseases.

Ultrasound analysis for pancreatic panniculitis: A case report / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) is a necrotizing inflammation of subcutaneous fat that is a rare complication of pancreatic disease appearing in 2% to 3% of all patients. It is more common in the elderly and often affects the extremities. It presents as skin inflammation with pain and erythema nodules. We report a case of acute pancreatitis associated with PP in an old female. She was admitted for vomiting and abdominal pain for 3 days and presented with a 2-week history of erythematous subcutaneous nodules on her legs. Laboratory and ultrasonic findings revealed acute pancreatitis. High frequency ultrasound showed hypoechoic foci in subcutaneous soft tissue layer and adipose layer. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of PP. Nodules disappeared with the resolution of acute pancreatic inflammation. PP may be the first manifestation of pancreatic disease. Imaging features of this pathology are seldom described and ultrasonic diagnosis experience is worth to be accumulated.

Pancreatitis aguda y el valor de la ecografía en su diagnóstico inicial / Acute pancreatitis and the value of ultrasound in its initial diagnosis

RESUMEN Introducción: la pancreatitis aguda es el proceso inflamatorio agudo del páncreas. Su diagnóstico se sustenta en pilares clínicos, humorales e imagenológicos; la ecografía es de gran utilidad como método diagnóstico inicial. Objetivo: determinar el valor de la ecografía en el diagnóstico inicial de la pancreatitis aguda en pacientes del Hospital Universitario Clínico-Quirúrgico «Arnaldo Milián Castro», durante el período de octubre de 2018 a junio de 2019. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y longitudinal en los pacientes con diagnóstico de pancreatitis aguda que fueron atendidos en el Servicio de Imagenología del Hospital Universitario Clínico-Quirúrgico «Arnaldo Milián Castro», desde octubre de 2018 hasta junio de 2019. El universo de estudio estuvo constituido por 75 pacientes, de los cuales se seleccionó una muestra no probabilística de 66 pacientes con ecografía abdominal y tomografía axial computarizada realizada. Resultados: prevalecieron los pacientes masculinos entre 50-59 años de edad. La obesidad y el alcoholismo fueron los factores de riesgo más frecuentes en las pancreatitis agudas leves y moderadas, mientras que las graves se asociaron a obesidad y litiasis vesicular. Predominó el grado de gravedad moderado. Los hallazgos ecográficos fundamentales fueron: contornos irregulares, textura heterogénea, glándula hipoecogénica y aumento difuso de tamaño del páncreas. El ultrasonido muestra un porciento de sensibilidad elevado en la detección de: hallazgos extrapancreáticos, colecciones peripancreáticas e irregularidad de los contornos del órgano. Conclusiones: el ultrasonido es un estudio muy útil en el diagnóstico inicial de la pancreatitis aguda.

ABSTRACT Introduction: acute pancreatitis is the acute inflammatory process of the pancreas. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, humoral and imaging pillars; ultrasound is very useful as an initial diagnostic method. Objective: to determine the value of ultrasound in the initial diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in patients seen at "Arnaldo Milián Castro" Clinical and Surgical University Hospital from October 2018 to June 2019. Methods: a descriptive and longitudinal study was carried out in patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis in the Imaging service at "Arnaldo Milián Castro" Clinical and Surgical University Hospital from October 2018 to June 2019. The study universe consisted of 75 patients, from which a non-probabilistic sample of 66 patients was selected with abdominal ultrasound and computerized axial tomography performed. Results: male patients aged 50 to 59 years prevailed. Obesity and alcoholism were the most common risk factors for mild and moderate acute pancreatitis, while severe ones were associated with obesity and gallstones. Moderate severity predominated. Irregular contours, heterogeneous texture, hypoechoic gland and diffuse enlargement of the pancreas were the main ultrasound findings. Ultrasound shows a high percentage of sensitivity in the detection of extrapancreatic findings, peripancreatic collections and irregularity of the organ contours. Conclusions: ultrasound is a very useful study in the initial diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.

Ansa pancreática: desafio no diagnóstico etiológico em paciente jovem com pancreatite grave / Ansa pancreatica: etiological diagnosis challenge in a young patient with severe pancreatitis

A ansa pancreática é uma variação anatômica rara dos ductos pancreáticos. Consiste numa comunicação entre o ducto pancreático principal (Wirsung) e o ducto pancreático acessório (Santorini). Recentemente, estudos têm demonstrado estar essa variação anatômica implicada como fator predisponente e significativamente associada a episódios recorrentes de pancreatite aguda. A pancreatite é uma entidade clínica pouco frequente na infância. Diferente dos adultos, as causas mais comuns incluem infecções virais, por ascaris, medicamentosas, traumas e anomalias estruturais. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar um caso de pancreatite aguda grave não alcoólica e não biliar, em um paciente jovem de 15 anos, em cuja propedêutica imagenológica evidenciou-se alça, comunicando com os ductos pancreáticos ventral e dorsal, compatível com ansa pancreática.

Ansa pancreatica is a rare anatomical variation of the pancreatic ducts. It consists of communication between the main pancreatic duct (Wirsung) and the accessory pancreatic duct (Santorini). Recently, studies have shown that this anatomical variation is implicated as a predisposing factor and significantly associated with recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a rare clinical entity in childhood. Different from that in the adults, the most common causes include viral and ascaris infections, drugs, traumas, and structural abnormalities. The objective of this study was to report a case of a severe non-alcoholic and non-biliary acute pancreatitis in a 15-year-old patient, whose propedeutic imaging showed a loop communicating with the ventral and dorsal pancreatic ducts, consistent with ansa pancreatica.

Factores que al ingreso influyen en la evolución de pacientes con diagnóstico de pancreatitis aguda / Factor that, upon Hospitalization, Influence the Evolution of Patients with a Diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis

RESUMEN Introducción: La pancreatitis aguda es un proceso inflamatorio que daña reversiblemente el parénquima pancreático. Es una enfermedad engañosa y variable en el tiempo; una identificación oportuna de los signos de gravedad mejora el pronóstico y reduce la mortalidad. Objetivos: Establecer los factores que al ingreso influyen en la evolución de pacientes con diagnóstico de pancreatitis aguda e identificar la relación de los hallazgos tomográficos y ecográficos al ingreso, con la evolución de estos pacientes. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, observacional y descriptivo en pacientes con diagnóstico de pancreatitis aguda, en el Hospital General Docente Provincial "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes". Resultados: La edad media fue 51,l7 años y el 60,49 por ciento de los pacientes eran del sexo masculino. La supervivencia fue 93,83 por ciento. El síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica, la disfunción de uno o más órganos, la realización de la intervención quirúrgica, la frecuencia cardiaca mayor de 90 latidos/minutos, la taquipnea, el valor de la glucemia mayor de 6,5 mmol/L y el valor del conteo de leucocitos mayor de 11,0 x 109/L, resultaron en factores de riesgo que, al ingreso, influyeron en la evolución de los pacientes hacia la muerte. Conclusiones: El síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica fue el principal factor de riesgo y la variable que mayor influencia tuvo en la evolución hacia la muerte de los pacientes estudiados, seguido de la disfunción de órganos y la realización de la intervención quirúrgica. El resto de las variables estudiadas no influyeron en la evolución de pacientes con diagnóstico de pancreatitis aguda(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process that reversibly damages the pancreatic parenchyma. It is, through time, a deceitful and variable disease; timely identification of the signs of severity improves the prognosis and reduces mortality. Objective: To establish the factors that, upon hospitalization, influence the evolution of patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Methods: A quantitative, observational and descriptive study with analytical phases was carried out in patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, at Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Provincial General Hospital. Results: The mean age was 51,17 years, while 60.49 percent of the patients were male. Survival was 93.83 percent. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, dysfunction of one or more organs, performance of surgical intervention, heart rate higher than 90 beats per minute, tachypnea, glycemic value over 6.5 mmol/L, and white blood cell count value greater than 11.0x109/L, resulted in risk factors that, upon admission, influenced the evolution of patients towards death. Conclusions: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome was the main risk factor and the variable that had the greatest influence on the evolution towards death of the patients studied, followed by organ dysfunction and the performance of surgical intervention. The rest of the variables studied did not influence the evolution of patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis(AU)

Pancreatitis aguda. Artículo de revisión / Acute Pancreatitis. Review Article

La pancreatitis aguda (PA) se define como un proceso inflamatorio agudo del páncreas el cual puede comprometer otros órganos y tejidos. El diagnóstico requiere al menos 2 de las siguientes características: dolor abdominal de moderada a fuerte intensidad, acompañado de náuseas y vómito; evidencia bioquímica de pancreatitis y/o evidencia por imágenes a través de tomografía axial computarizada dinámica (TACD) y/o la resonancia magnética (RM) del páncreas. Es la enfermedad gastrointestinal aguda más común que requiere ingreso hospitalario, siendo la evolución favorable en la mayoría de los casos (80%). Sin embargo, la pancreatitis necrotizante puede desarrollarse en hasta el 20% de los pacientes y se asocia con tasas significativas de insuficiencia orgánica temprana (38%). Los trastornos metabólicos y el ayuno comprometen el estado nutricional lo que podría agravar el curso de la enfermedad, por ello la vía de administración de la terapia nutricional ha demostrado tener un impacto en la evolución de los pacientes. Ahora existe una mejor definición de cuales pacientes con PA necesitan una terapia nutricional agresiva y cuales son aquellos que probablemente se beneficiarán de una nutrición enteral temprana(AU)

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is defined as an acute inflammatory process of the pancreas which can compromise other organs and tissues. The diagnosis requires at least 2 of the following characteristics: moderate to severe abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting; biochemical evidence of pancreatitis and/or imaging evidence through dynamic computed axial tomography (TACD) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pancreas. It is the most common acute gastrointestinal disease that requires hospital admission, with a favorable evolution in most cases (80%). However, necrotizing pancreatitis can develop in up to 20% of patients and is associated with significant rates of early organ failure (38%). Metabolic disorders and fasting compromise the nutritional status which could aggravate the course of the disease, therefore the route of administration of nutritional therapy has been shown to have an impact on the evolution of patients. There is now a better definition of which AP patients need aggressive nutritional therapy and which are likely to benefit from early enteral nutrition(AU)

Pancreatitis aguda por hipercalcemia en el embarazo: caso clínico / Acute pancreatitis due to hypercalcemia during pregnancy: report of one case

Acute pancreatitis during pregnancy is uncommon and usually associated with gallstones. However other etiologies must be considered. We report a 24 years old woman with a 32 weeks pregnancy consulting for abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. She had elevated lipase and amylase levels, a corrected serum calcium of 13.1 mg/dl and a serum phosphate of 1.6 mg/dl. A magnetic resonance colangiopancreatography showed an enlarged pancreas with inflammatory changes and a normal Wirsung duct. A parathyroid nodule was found on cervical ultrasonography. The patient was treated initially with cinacalcet with partial response. A parathyroidectomy was performed at 39 weeks of pregnancy with a good maternal and fetal evolution.

Utilidad de la elastografía guiada por ultrasonografía endoscópica en la evaluación de lesiones sólidas pancreáticas / Usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound guided elastography in the assessment of solid pancreatic lesions

Introducción: La elastografía guiada por ultrasonografía endoscópica es considerada una herramienta útil en la evaluación de las lesiones solidas pancreáticas (LSP). Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el rendimiento diagnóstico de la elastografia en pacientes con LSP. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal prospectivo en el hospital Rebagliati durante julio 2017 a junio 2018. Se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico de LSP y estudio ecoendoscópico, elastografía y toma de PAAF. Se realizó elastografia cualitativa y elastografia cuantitativa (SR e histograma) y se analizó con resultados histopatológicos para determinar la sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo (VPP), valor predictivo negativo (VPN) y exactitud diagnostica en la detección de malignidad. Resultados: De 846 ecoendoscopías, se estudiaron 46 pacientes con LSP con una edad promedio de 64,6 años, 29 (63%) sexo femenino. El adenocarcinoma pancreático fue diagnosticado en 36 casos (78,3%). En elastografía cualitativa predominó el score 3 (n=39, 84,8%) con una sensibilidad, especificidad y exactitud de 88.9%, 30% y 76,1% respectivamente para predecir adenocarcinoma. Elastografía cuantitativa de SR≥ 15 (sensibilidad 100%, especificidad 66,7% y exactitud 97,8%) y un valor de histograma menor de 49 (sensibilidad 66,7%, especificidad 97,6% y exactitud 95,6%) predice malignidad en una LSP con área bajo de la curva ROC de 0,941 (IC 95%, 0,82 - 1,0). Conclusiones: La elastografía brinda información para predecir la naturaleza maligna de la lesión. En nuestro estudio la detección elastográfica de un score 3, SR≥ 15 o un histograma < 49 predice la presencia de malignidad en la LSP estudiada.

Introduction: endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) elastography is considered a useful tool for the evaluation of solid pancreatic lesions (SPL). Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography in patients with SPL. Material and methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was performed at the Rebagliati Hospital between July 2017 and June 2018. Patients with a diagnosis of SPL and echoendoscopic study, elastography and FNA were included. Qualitative and quantitative elastography: strain ratio (SR) and strain histogram, were performed and analyzed with histopathological results. The diagnostic accuracy of EUS elastography in detecting malignancy was calculated using receiver operating curve analysis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy for the detection of malignancy were calculated. Results: Out of 832 EUS examinations performed, 46 patients with SPL (mean age, 64.6 years; 29 women) were included in the study. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 36 cases. In qualitative elastography, score 3 was most frequent (n = 39, 84.8%) with sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 88.9%, 30% and 76.1%, respectively, for predict adenocarcinoma. A strain ratio of 15 or higher (100% sensitivity, 66.7% specificity and 97.8% accuracy) and a histogram of less than 49 (66.7% sensitivity, 97.6% specificity and 95.6% accuracy) predicts malignancy in SPL, with area under a ROC curve of 0.941 (95% CI, 0.82 - 1.0). Conclusions: EUS elastography provides information to predict the malignant nature of the pancreatic lesion. In our study, the elastographic detection of a score 3, SR≥15 or a histogram <49 predicts the presence of malignancy in LSP.

Comparative evaluation of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and perioperative cholangiography in patients with suspect choledocholithiasis / Avaliação comparativa da colangiopancreatografia por ressonância magnética e da colangiografia peroperatória na suspeita de coledocolitíase

ABSTRACT Background: Cholelithiasis is a highly prevalent condition, and choledocholitiasis is a high morbidity complication and requires accurate methods for its diagnosis. Aim: To evaluate the population of patients with suspected choledocholitiasis and check the statistical value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, ultrasonography, the laboratory and the clinic of these patients comparing them to the results obtained by perioperative cholangiography. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study, which were evaluated 76 patients with cholelithiasis and suspected choledocholithiasis. Results: It was observed that the presence of dilatation of the biliary tract or choledocholithiasis in the ultrasonography was four and eight times increased risk of perioperative cholangiography for positive choledocholithiasis, respectively. For each unit increased in serum alkaline phosphatase was 0.3% increased the risk of perioperative cholangiography for positive choledocholithiasis. In the presence of dilatation of the bile ducts in the ultrasonography was four times greater risk of positive magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis. In the presence of pancreatitis these patients had five times higher risk of positive magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis. On the positive magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography presence to choledocholithiasis was 104 times greater of positive perioperative cholangiography for choledocholithiasis. Conclusions: The magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is a method with good accuracy for propedeutic follow-up for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, consistent with the results obtained from the perioperative cholangiography; however, it is less invasive, with less risk to the patient and promote decreased surgical time when compared with perioperative cholangiography.

RESUMO Racional: A colelitíase é afecção de alta prevalência, sendo a coledocolitíase complicação de elevada morbidade e que necessita de métodos acurados para seu diagnóstico. Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil populacional de pacientes com suspeita de coledocolitíase e verificar o valor estatístico da colangiopancreatografia por ressonância magnética, da ultrassonografia, dos exames laboratoriais e da clínica desses pacientes e compará-los aos resultados obtidos pela colangiografia peroperatória. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo longitudinal, de coorte, retrospectivo, no qual foram avaliados 76 pacientes com diagnóstico de colelitíase e suspeita de coledocolitíase. Resultados: Observou-se que na presença de dilatação das vias biliares ou coledocolitíase na ultrassonografia havia risco quatro e oito vezes maior, respectivamente, de colangiografia peroperatória positiva para coledocolitíase. Para cada unidade de aumento na fosfatase alcalina sérica houve aumento em 0,3% no risco de colangiografia peroperatória positiva para coledocolitíase. Na presença de dilatação das vias biliares na ultrassonografia ou clínica de pancreatite havia risco quatro e cinco vezes maior, respectivamente, de colangiopancreatografia por ressonância magnética positiva para coledocolitíase. Na presença de colangiopancreatografia por ressonância magnética positiva para coledocolitíase o risco foi 104 vezes maior de colangiografia peroperatória positiva para coledocolitíase. Conclusão: A colangiopancreatografia por ressonância magnética para seguimento propedêutico tem boa acurácia para o diagnóstico de coledocolitíase, e concordante com os resultados obtidos na colangiografia peroperatória. O método é menos invasivo, com menores riscos ao paciente e com diminuição do tempo cirúrgico dispendido para realização da colangiografia peroperatória.

Intramural duodenal hematoma secondary to pancreatitis: case report and review of the literature

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Spontaneous intramural duodenal hematoma is uncommon and is usually associated with coagulopathy, anticoagulant therapy and endoscopic procedures. The aim here was to describe a case of intramural duodenal hematoma caused by chronic exacerbation of pancreatitis. CASE REPORT: A 46-year-old male with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis was admitted to hospital due to abdominal pain, melena and low hemoglobin. An intramural duodenal hematoma with active bleeding was detected and selective angioembolization was warranted. The patient evolved with a perforated duodenum and underwent laparotomy with exclusion of the pylorus and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. He was discharged nine days later. CONCLUSION: Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare complication of pancreatitis. Selective embolization is the preferred treatment for hemorrhagic complications of pancreatitis. However, the risk of visceral ischemia and perforation should be considered.

Malformación arteriovenosa pancreática como causa de pancreatitis aguda tratada por vía endovascular / Pancreatic arteriovenous malformation as cause of acute pancreatitis treated by endovascular access

La malformación arterio-venosa (MAV) en el páncreas es una anomalía anatómica poco frecuente que puede ser causa de pancreatitis aguda. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 46 años cuyo diagnóstico se sospechó por los hallazgos de la tomografía computarizada con contraste endovenoso y por resonancia magnética y se confirmó mediante una arteriografía del tronco celíaco y de la arteria mesentérica superior. El tratamiento recibido fue por vía endovascular, aunque la otra opción válida para el tratamiento de esta enfermedad es la resección quirúrgica. El objetivo de esta comunicación es presentar un caso de pancreatitis aguda por MAV tratada por vía endovascular.

Arteriovenous malformation in the pancreas is a rare anatomic abnormality that may produce acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis was suspected by computed tomography with intravenous contrast and by magnetic resonance imaging and it was confirmed by arteriography of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. The treatment received was endovascular, although the other valid option for the treatment of this disease is the surgical resection. The objective of this communication is to present a case of acute pancreatitis due to arteriovenous malformation treated by endovascular approach.

Pancreatitis aguda debido a intususcepción gastroduodenal / Acute pancreatitis due to gastroduodenal intussusception

Introducción: Los pólipos gástricos adenomatosos son poco frecuentes y generalmente se encuentran en el examen endoscópico de rutina. La intususcepción gastroduodenal es una complicación poco frecuente de los pólipos gástricos y ha sido raramente descrita como una causa de pancreatitis aguda. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 68 años el cual ingresa de urgencia con dolor abdominal, náuseas y vómitos catalogados en un inicio como pancreatitis aguda de etiología biliar; incidentalmente se descubre un pólipo gástrico pediculado intususceptado a duodeno como causa de la pancreatitis aguda. Se realizó tratamiento endoscópico de urgencia y tratamiento definitivo con cirugía abierta.

Introduction: Adenomatous gastric polyps are uncommon and are usually found in the routine endoscopic examination. Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare complication of those gastric polyps and has rarely been described as a cause of acute pancreatitis. Case report: We present the case of a 68 year old man who admitted to emergency with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting initially classified as acute biliary pancreatitis etiology; a pedunculated gastric polyp intussuscepted into duodenum as a cause of acute pancreatitis was incidentally discovered, emergency endoscopic treatment and definitive treatment with open surgery was performed.

Neoplasia mucinosa papilar intraductal como hallazgo en paciente con pancreatitis / Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm as a finding in a patient with pancreatitis

Introducción: La neoplasia mucinosa intraductal papilar (NMIP) del páncreas es una masa quística dependiente del sistema ductal pancreático. Presentación del caso: Paciente de 65 años, femenino, antecedentes mórbidos de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 sin tratamiento e hipertensión arterial esencial en tratamiento. Consulta por cuadro clínico de 9 horas caracterizado por epigastralgia opresiva/urente de inicio súbito, con irradiación en faja a dorso, intensidad EVA 10/10, asociado a náuseas, sin vómitos, diarrea ni fiebre. Ingresa hemodinámicamente estable, afebril, hidratada, sin signos de irritación peritoneal, sin masas palpables y con ruidos hidroaéreos presentes. Destaca en exámenes de laboratorio: amilasa 390 UI/L, lipasa 1760.9 U/L.Se diagnostica pancreatitis aguda y por sospecha de etiología biliar se realiza colangiopancreatografia por resonancia magnética (CPRM). Como hallazgo se describe formación quística de 13mm a nivel de la transición entre cuerpo y cola del páncreas, compatible con NMIP de rama secundaria y se diagnostica pancreatitis aguda leve Balthazar B de etiología litiásica. Se realiza manejo de la pancreatitis y debido a las características del NMIP encontrado el plan es seguimiento tomográfico en 2 a 3 años. Discusión: Las NMIP son hallazgos imagenológicos frecuentemente incidentales, pues la mayoría de los pacientes se mantienen asintomáticos. La característica imagenológica habitual corresponde a una lesión quística multilocular lobulada situada en el proceso unciforme y en contigüidad con el conducto pancreático principal dilatado. Según las características de la lesión, el manejo puede ser quirúrgico o seguimiento. Las tasas de supervivencia global a 5 años se acercan a 61-87%

Introduction: Pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a cystic mass dependent on the pancreatic ductal system. Case report: Female, 65 years old, with morbid history of type 2 diabetes without treatment and essential hypertension under treatment. Consults by clinical profile of 9 hours characterized by oppressive/ burning epigastralgia of sudden onset, with irradiation in sash to back, intensity EVA 10/10, associated with nausea, without vomiting, diarrhea or fever. Is hemodynamically stable, afebrile, hydrated, with no signs of peritoneal irritation, with no palpable masses and with bowel sounds present. Highlights in laboratory tests: amylase 390 UI / L, lipase 1760.9 U / L. Acute pancreatitis is diagnosed and due the suspicion of biliary etiology a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is performed. A cystic formation of 13mm is described at the transition level between body and tail of the pancreas, compatible with branch duct type IPMN and acute mild pancreatitis Balthazar B of lithiasic etiology is diagnosed. Management of pancreatitis is performed and because of the characteristics of the IPMN found the plan is tomographic follow-up in 2 to 3 years. Discussion: IPMN are frequently incidental imaging findings, as most patients remain asymptomatic. The usual imaging characteristic corresponds to a lobulated multilocular cystic lesion located in the unicular process and in contiguity with the main dilated pancreatic duct. Depending on the characteristics of the lesion, the management may be surgical or follow-up. The 5-year survival rates approach 61-87%.
