Abstract
Castleman’s disease is a rare event that gastroenterologists should be familiar with. We present a case of Castleman’s disease presenting as acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis was established by excisional biopsy of a superficial lymph node and the patient had a favorable prognosis with chemotherapy. This case is reminiscent of acute pancreatitis with multiple lymphadenopathy and should raise suspicion for Castleman’s disease.
