Acute pancreatitis caused by ectopic pregnancy

Acute pancreatitis caused by ectopic pregnancy

The mother of the 2-year-old baby was hospitalized a week ago for "acute pancreatitis". Unexpectedly, she was found to have an ectopic pregnancy in the body and tail of the pancreas. Ectopic pregnancy in the abdominal cavity is extremely risky because it will spontaneously rupture as the pregnancy progresses, leading to massive intra-abdominal bleeding and shock, which is often life-threatening.

Some people have heard of ectopic pregnancies located in the fallopian tubes, uterine horns, or the rare paracolic grooves, but few have heard of ectopic pregnancies occurring in the pancreas. A few days ago, a hospital in Shanghai admitted such a special patient who had been transferred several times. The young mother, Ms. Mu (pseudonym), who came to the hospital accompanied by her family, was in her early 30s. She gave birth to a girl two years ago and was diagnosed with "acute pancreatitis" a week ago. Not long after she was discharged from the hospital after treatment, B-ultrasound, CT and other examinations revealed that the pancreas was significantly enlarged. After consultation with gynecologists, gastroenterologists and surgeons, it was determined to be an ectopic pregnancy, and the location of the ectopic pregnancy was most likely a huge tumor in the tail of the pancreas.

After comprehensive consideration, the operation was carried out as scheduled. Doctors carefully examined and found that the size of the ectopic pregnancy embryo was larger than the imaging showed, occupying the entire pancreatic body and tail. After nearly 4 hours of surgery, the "seed" that "grew in the wrong place" was finally removed.
