Infected pseudocyst as a consequence of tropical pancreatitis presenting as psoas abscess is unusual. We report a 40-year-old man who presented with pain in the right lumbar region. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some are well nourished or even overweight at presentation. Abdominal pain is the presenting feature of tropical chronic pancreatitis in up to 90% of cases. [diapedia.org]

Recent reports indicate change in profile of CP in India with identification of novel risk factors; and delayed presentation as well as delayed onset of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. [tropicalgastro.com]

• Gangrene

  For the present however, this case report only shows that severe peripheral vessel disease causing gangrene can occur in diabetic subjects with TCP. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

• Abdominal Pain

  Clinical Features The main symptoms are abdominal pain(70%), diabetis mellitus(55%), weight loss(65%) and obstructive jaundice in 2%. Rarely patient may present with abdominal mass, ascitis or gastrointestinal bleeding. [orion-group.net]

  There were similar episodes of such type of abdominal pain. Abdominal pain was mid epigastric, dull aching in nature, increased after taking meal and some times radiating to back. [ijstd.org]

  Abdominal pain is the presenting feature of tropical chronic pancreatitis in up to 90% of cases. The pain is intermittent, severe, upper abdominal radiating to the back, and is relieved by leaning forward. [diapedia.org]

• Microalbuminuria

  There was no evidence of clinical neuropathy or microalbuminuria. His routine blood tests were normal including hematology, thyroid function tests, liver function tests, and serum calcium. Anti-TPO antibodies were negative. [hormones.gr]

  The prevalence of microvascular complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, or microalbuminuria observed in FCPD is similar to that in type 2 diabetes[ 28 ]. [wjgnet.com]

• Dyslipidemia

  However, these patients with pancreatic diabetes resulting from TCP (as in our case) have macrovascular disease in the absence of obesity, hypertension and overt dyslipidemia. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

Treatment may be frustrating, and may include pancreatic enzymes, duct manipulations at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, octreotide, celiac axis blocks for pain control, or surgery via drainage and/or resection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis of TCP patients has improved in the last two to three decades because of the better understanding of the natural history of TCP but its aetio-pathogenesis continues to be elusive. [posterng.netkey.at]

Treatment and prognosis The presence of necrosis implies a poorer prognosis with mortality rates reported up to 14% 3, if sterile. [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis is good relative to other causes of chronic pancreatitis. [diapedia.org]

In the last few decades, the prognosis has markedly improved as a result of better management of diabetes. [journals.lww.com]

After diagnosis the patient prognosis is dismal with few surviving over 5 years. Treatment regimes are highly patient variable and often the patients are too sick to undergo surgical resection or chemotherapy. [mdpi.com]

Etiology of this disease is still not clear. The authors examine various hypotheses of etiology of TP and advocate the concept wherein pancreatitis of different types may have common etiological factors, but in differing proportions. [citeseerx.ist.psu.edu]

CONCLUSION: Malnutrition is not an etiological factor of TP and weight loss occurred as a result of low calorie intake after the onset of TP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
