Abstract
The incidence of hypertriglyceridemia in acromegaly is three times higher than in the normal population, and it is the most common dyslipidemia in acromegaly. We present a case of hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis confirmed by imaging, with normal pancreatic enzymes. Hypertriglyceridemia in this patient was likely secondary to acromegaly. The hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis appears to be secondary to somatotrophic pituitary adenoma.Entities:
