Abstract: Chronic pancreatitis associated with inflammatory bowel disease is now considered as extraintestinal manifestation of that disease. The clinical and radiological features of the new entity are markedly different from those of chronic calcifying pancreatitis. We report the case of a 68-year-old man presenting with a pseudotumorous chronic pancreatitis associated with ulcerative colitis. Diagnosis was made after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and cytological analysis of stenosis brushings … Show more

“…Though the mechanisms of pancreatitis as an extraintestinal complication of UC remain unclear, there are some reports that have suggested possible mechanisms: malnutrition in UC, activation of trypsinogen due to intestinal bacteria, existence of a local circulatory disorder due to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, stimulation in cavities around the pancreatic acinus by proteases and cytokines derived from the colon mucosa via the portal lymphatic system, and exocrine disorders associated with an increase in the viscosity of pancreatic juice due to intestinal paralysis or dehydration [4, 5, 6]. On the other hand, UC may be associated with autoimmune pancreatitis from the consideration of autoimmune disease [7] and involvement of anti-carbonic anhydrase II antibody [8]. The occurrence of autoimmune pancreatitis is known to be strongly related to the disease activity of UC.…”
