Abstract

Gallstones and alcohol consumption are the most common causes of acute pancreatitis. Lung carcinoma typically presents with respiratory symptoms, and in some cases, locoregional or distant metastases. However, acute pancreatitis as the initial manifestation of lung carcinoma is rare. Herein, we report the case of a 75 year-old man who presented with acute pancreatitis and was diagnosed with metastatic lung carcinoma upon evaluation.
