A patient with systemic lupus erythematosus is reported whose initial clinical presentation was that of acute pancreatitis, confirmed by pancreatic isoamylase elevation and pancreatic enlargement on computerized tomography. A lack of a correlation with steroid therapy and a need to document pancreatitis in a multisystem disease like lupus with radiographic evidence as well as pancreatic isoamylase elevations is emphasized.
