CRUZ, Patricia; GUTIERREZ, Laura; SANCHEZ-CABRERO, Darío  e  DE CASTRO, Francisco Javier. Acute pancreatitis in small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) resolved with chemotherapy. rev.colomb.cancerol.

Small-cell lung carcinoma is a subtype of neoplasm that has been typically associated with smoking; it 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; even more 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.
