Acute pancreatitis, Small cell lung carcinomaAbstract
Small cell lung cancer is a subtype of neoplasm that has typically been associated with smoking and is characterized by its aggressiveness and poor prognosis in the short term. As an entity it can metastasize in any organ, but pancreatic metastases are rare and most of the time asymptomatic. Therefore, the presence of neoplastic pancreatitis as in our case is exceptional and even more so when it presents refractoriness to conventional medical treatment, responding instead to systemic cytotoxic treatment. Therefore, we expose our clinical experience and discuss the presence of this rare entity and its management.
