Abstract
ABSTRACT Hypertriglyceridemia‐induced acute pancreatitis and acute appendicitis are distinct clinical conditions rarely reported to occur concurrently. We present a case of hypertriglyceridemia‐induced pancreatitis characterized by clinical deterioration despite a decline in serum triglyceride levels. While initial imaging demonstrated pancreatic inflammatory signatures, emergent exploratory laparotomy revealed a concomitant retrocecal appendicitis complicated by a pelvic abscess.
