Abstract

A 52-year-old male presented to the hospital with a 3-day history of high-grade fever (over 39.0°C), arthralgia, and headache. He was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis for the first time at 28 years of age. Since then, he has been admitted several times due to chronic pancreatitis. The cause of chronic pancreatitis had been assumed to be alcohol consumption. Three months prior, he received an endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle aspiration to evaluate a mass in the pancreatic head, which yielded no evidence of malignancy.
