“…The association between pancreatic disease and UCwas first suggested by Ball et al in 1950 (2). Since then, several cases of clinically significant pancreatitis have been reported in UC Pseudotumorous Pancreatitis Associated with UC patients (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8).…”

“…Wethus considered the pancreatitic disease in this case as one of the extraintestinal manifestations of UC. The histological findings of the resected specimen of UCrelated pancreatitis cases are rarely reported in the literature (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Pathological specimens of UC-related pancreatitis demonstrate the presence of inter-and intra-lobular fibrosis with marked acinar regression (1).…”

Pancreatitis is believed to be one of the uncommon extraintestinal manifestations of ulcerative colitis (UC). A 66-year-old womanwho had been treated for UCfor eight months was admitted to our hospital because of epigastralgia. Laboratory examinations revealed elevated pancreatic enzymes. Because differentiation of pseudotumorous pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer was difficult by the imaging findings, she underwent a distal pancreatectomy. Histologically, the tumorous lesion was composed of fibrosis with lymphocytic infiltration. Weconcluded that this case was pseudotumorouspancreatitis as an extraintestinal manifestation of UC.

“…In ulcerative colitis, hyperamylasemia was identified in 9% and hyperlipemia in 7% of the patients, and increased enzyme activity was associated with more extensive and active disease. 6 Castiella et al 7 reported a case with acute pancreatitis complicating ulcerative colitis presenting with platelet aggregation. 5 On the other hand, some of the platelet surface antigens are activated in inflammatory bowel disease.…”

“…Collins et al suggested that platelet dysfunction may contribute to the pathogenesis of mucosal inflammation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and predispose them to systemic thromboembolism. The possibility that platelet dysfunction also contributes to the pathogenesis of pancreatitis related to inflammatory bowel disease has been suggested by Castiella et al, 40 who reported a case of ulcerative colitis associated with acute pancreatitis and platelet aggregates. Causality was not demonstrated in this case, and both the pancreatitis and the platelet aggregates resolved after treatment with corticosteroids and sulfasalazine.…”

A 15-year-old girl was referred to the hospital because of abdominal pain and bloody stools.The patient had been in excellent health until 26 weeks earlier, when she began to have mild periumbilical pain, usually after the evening meal, without radiation to the back. She passed small amounts of blood with several stools and sometimes noted blood dripping into the toilet bowl. She continued to have periumbilical pain. The results of laboratory studies performed at that time and on four subsequent occasions before admission are shown in Tables 1 and 2. A stool culture was negative; Clostridium difficile toxin was not detected, and no ova or parasites were found.The results of an ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen and an upper gastrointestinal series with a small-bowel follow-through study, performed 25 weeks before admission, were normal. A sweat chloride test was negative. Treatment with a low-fat diet and pancreatic-enzyme replacement was begun 20 weeks before admission.Fifteen weeks before admission, the abdominal pain had mostly disappeared, but slight rectal bleeding continued intermittently. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the pancreas, performed after the administration of gadolinium, showed enlargement and heterogeneous enhancement of its head and slight dilatation of the pancreatic duct (3 to 4 mm), with slight beading within the body of the pancreas -findings consistent with the presence of chronic pancreatitis.Thirteen weeks before admission, the abdominal pain had resolved, and the girl no longer had hematochezia. Nine weeks before admission, she had a two-week bout of abdominal pain and diarrhea with-*To convert the value for iron to micromoles per liter, multiply by 0.1791.
