ABSTRACT
Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis falls within the spectrum of sarcoidosis and is characterized by features of necrosis and granulomatous vasculitis. Like classical sarcoidosis, it can affect numerous organ systems, and there is a wide range of disease activity. Few cases of necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis have been reported in the liver. We present a case of necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis associated with noncirrhotic portal hypertension.
ABSTRACT
Drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP) is a rare cause of pancreatitis with an extensive and growing list of offending medications. Drawing a causative relationship between a medication and pancreatitis can be challenging, requiring a thorough workup to exclude other potential etiologies. By using scoring systems to identify DIP, we have identified another case of suspected DIP. In this study, we present a case of pancreatitis 10 days after initiation of dupilumab. An evaluation for other causes was unrevealing. As dupilumab use increases, providers should be aware of this possible adverse effect.
