Unveiling the Unexpected: Co-occurrence of Acute Pancreatitis and Riedel's Lobe.

Riedel's lobe is a rare anatomical variant of the liver, more often being diagnosed incidentally, with the patient being investigated for other underlying pathology. As regards acute pancreatitis, this represents one of the most treated diseases worldwide in gastroenterology with a variable severity and outcome. Here, we report a case of a non-palpable Riedel's lobe in a 47-year-old man, smoker, and chronic alcohol consumer, who presented to the hospital with epigastric pain radiating in the right hypochondrium, accompanied by nausea.
