Pancreatic involvement associated with acute intermittent porphyria is rare. There were only nine cases reported until now which have pancreatic disease and AIP, one case with chronic pancreatitis, one with cystadenocarcinoma and chronic pancreatitis, one with transient macroamylasemia and the others with acute pancreatitis. The cause of these complications in these patients is uncertain. However, in our case, it is possible that AIP might have caused the acute pancreatitis, since this patient developed acute pancreatitis following the attack of AIP. It seems to be necessary to pay attention to the combination of these diseases.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries

D010195	Pancreatitis	INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
