Wegener's granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis with prominent involvement of the respiratory tract and kidney. There are 10 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis in the literature who were documented as acute pancreatitis. We present two cases with Wegener's granulomatosis presenting with acute pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocyst. Endosonography-guided drainage of the pancreatic pseudocyst led to rapid clinical improvement. Pancreatic pseudocyst in Wegener's granulomatosis is not reported in the literature, and these are the first cases of Wegener's granulomatosis to be managed by endosonography-guided cyst drainage. The safety of endosonography-guided pancreatic pseudocyst drainage and the clinical features of the previous Wegener's granulomatosis cases with acute pancreatitis are discussed.
韦格纳肉芽肿病是一种全身性血管炎,主要累及呼吸道和肾脏。文献中有10例韦格纳肉芽肿病患者被记录为急性胰腺炎。我们报告2例韦格纳肉芽肿病合并急性胰腺炎和胰腺假性囊肿的病例。内镜超声引导下胰腺假性囊肿引流使临床症状迅速改善。韦格纳肉芽肿病合并胰腺假性囊肿在文献中未见报道,这是首例通过内镜超声引导下囊肿引流治疗的韦格纳肉芽肿病病例。本文讨论了内镜超声引导下胰腺假性囊肿引流的安全性以及既往韦格纳肉芽肿病合并急性胰腺炎病例的临床特征。
