Hyperparathyroidism is a rare cause of pancreatitis, it should be suspected in all patients with a history of primary hyperpara¬t hyroidism, When these diseases coexist, the course of pancreatitis can be rather severe and often complicated.

Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is a rare, life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, often linked to chronic pancreatitis and pseudoaneurysm rupture into the pancreatic duct. However, its occurrence in acute necrotizing pancreatitis with decompensated cirrhosis is exceedingly rare and poses significant diagnostic and treatment challenges. We report a case of a 34-year-old male with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis who developed hemorrhagic shock from HP following acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

A 64-year-old man with a history of heavy alcohol use, situs inversus totalis, and total gastrectomy was hospitalized with hematochezia.
