A case of serous cystic tumor, which recurred with severe acute pancreatitis.

A 76-year-old woman with serous cystic tumor (SCT) was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and was given a diagnosis of severe acute pancreatitis. Infusion of intravenous protein inhibitor and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) were started and she was placed on a respirator, but she died on the 6th day after diagnosis. On autopsy, each SCT cyst showed evidence of hemorrhage.
