Benign Pancreatic Hyperenzymemia or Gullo's Syndrome is a rare syndrome that has been identified relatively recently and is characterized by abnormally elevated serum pancreatic enzymes in the absence of any clinical or pathological evidence of pancreatic disease. It is usually discovered incidentally, occurs sporadically or as a familial form and remains a diagnosis of exclusion. Both amylase and lipase are elevated but can return to normal levels temporarily. We present an interesting case of benign pancreatic hyperenzymemia. This case highlights the importance of identifying this condition to avoid unnecessary testing and reassuring the patient of its benign nature.
良性胰腺高酶血症或古洛综合征是一种较为罕见的综合征,直到最近才被确认,其特征是血清胰腺酶异常升高,而不存在任何胰腺疾病的临床或病理证据。它通常是偶然发现的,呈散发性或家族性形式,仍然是一种排除性诊断。淀粉酶和脂肪酶均升高,但可暂时恢复到正常水平。我们报告一例有趣的良性胰腺高酶血症病例。该病例强调了识别这种情况以避免不必要检查并向患者保证其良性性质的重要性。
