A report is presented of a patient who developed multiple abscesses of the pancreas due to Candida albicans following an Endoscopic retrograde chole-pancreatography (ERCP) for acute pancreatitis. He was not immunocompromised, debilitated and had not had recent surgery. There was complete radiological and clinical resolution of the abscess on prolonged treatment with amphotericin alone. Only a few cases of candidal abscess of the pancreas have been reported, none of them having occurred after an ERCP.
