Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) has been associated with a number of extraintestinal manifestations, but an association with salivary gland involvement has never been reported. We describe a patient with UC who developed acute pancreatitis and parotitis. Some autoantibodies against common antigens presenting in both the parotid gland and the pancreas might have induced pancreatitis and parotitis in our patient with UC.Entities:
