We report a patient with transient periduodenal panniculitis due to spontaneous rupture of a pancreatic pseudocyst into the duodenum. He developed sudden onset of severe epigastric and back pain with jaundice, mimicking the symptoms of acute pancreatitis. However, the serum and urinary amylase levels did not increase. CT scans showed disappearance of his pseudocyst and periduodenal panniculitis without any evidence of acute pancreatitis. The CT findings of periduodenal panniculitis and his symptoms both improved within 3 weeks. A duodenal fistula leading to the remnant pseudocyst and narrowing of the periduodenal portion of the common bile duct were demonstrated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

D008297 Male Males
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010192 Pancreatic Pseudocyst Cyst-like space not lined by EPITHELIUM and contained within the PANCREAS. Pancreatic pseudocysts account for most of the cystic collections in the pancreas and are often associated with chronic PANCREATITIS.
