The involvement of gastrointestinal system in SARS-CoV2 related disease, COVID-19, is increasingly recognized. COVID-19 associated pancreatic injury has been suggested, but its correlation with pancreatic disease is still unclear. In this case report, we describe the detection of SARS-CoV2 RNA in a pancreatic pseudocyst fluid sample collected from a patient with SARS-CoV2 associated pneumonia and a pancreatic pseudocyst developed as a complication of an acute edematous pancreatitis. The detection of SARS-CoV2 within the pancreatic collection arise the question of whether this virus has a tropism for pancreatic tissue and whether it plays a role in pancreatic diseases occurrence.
越来越多的人认识到，胃肠道系统在 SARS-CoV2 相关疾病（COVID-19）中发挥作用。有人提出 COVID-19 相关的胰腺损伤，但它与胰腺疾病的相关性尚不清楚。在本病例报告中，我们描述了从 SARS-CoV2 相关肺炎患者和急性水肿性胰腺炎并发症发展而来的胰腺假性囊肿中采集的胰腺假性囊肿液样本中检测到 SARS-CoV2 RNA。在胰腺采集物中检测到 SARS-CoV2 提出了一个问题，即该病毒是否对胰腺组织具有嗜性，以及它是否在胰腺疾病的发生中起作用。
