• TITLE: Pancreatic Abscess: An Infection Occurring with Minimal Tissue Present

  ABSTRACT: Pancreatic abscess typically occurs 4 weeks after acute pancreatitis begins and is defined as an infection of the pancreatic pseudocyst. There are other causes which include but are not limited to iatrogenic intra-abdominal procedures, chronic pancreatitis, and sending from distant sites. These abscesses are typically collections of pus that are within the region of the pancreas. There is also pancreatic necrosis that is seen among these abscesses. Here is a report on a case of a pancreatic abscess of unusual occurrence in a patient that had a near-total distal pancreatectomy. This is uncommon as the patient has very minimal pancreatic tissue remaining, yet still has developed this intra-abdominal abscess. These abscesses must be recognized quickly and removed to prevent further complications from occurring.
