ABSTRACT
Idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP) is defined as acute pancreatitis for which the standard initial evaluation has failed to reveal the etiology. Although a tumor is a rare cause of IAP, it is important to consider it in advance, because prognosis is poor if diagnosis is delayed. We describe a case of presumed IAP at the index presentation that was finally diagnosed as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with an associated invasive carcinoma in a 70-year-old woman after surgery to remove a mass identified during follow-up endoscopic ultrasonography. Therefore, this is a case in which suspicion of malignancy and follow-up endoscopic ultrasonography helped to appropriately diagnose and treat the tumor.
