ultrasonography - Opis:
- Benign pancreatic hyperenzymemia (BPH) or Gullo’s Syndrome is a persistent elevation of pancreatic enzymes activity, observed for at least one year, with no pancreatic disorder. This diagnosis is extremely important because it allows us to avoid many unnecessary examinations performed during the diagnostic process. We present a case of a 25-year-old man who was admitted for recurrent elevated lipase and amylase serum values over a time period of 2 years who presented with non-specific abdominal complaints. Interestingly, his routine tests showed sustained elevated serum amylase and lipase activity. He was intensively diagnosed due to pancreatic hyperenzymemia, but no pancreatic disease was detected. The observation lasted two years. The serum lipase and serum amylase levels continued to increase after that time. This diagnosis requires attention because BPH can be the first symptom of pancreatic cancer.
