Eosinophilic pancreatitis with pseudocyst.

ABSTRACT

Eosinophilic pancreatitis is a rare entity in patients having underlying systemic manifestations such as peripheral eosinophilia, elevated serum IgE levels and/ or eosinophilic infiltrates in other organs, including the gastrointestinal tract. We report a 38-year-old woman with peripheral eosinophilia in association with acute pancreatitis, pancreatic ascites and pseudocyst.
