- Abstract
The article accounts on a 70-years old woman with a case of recurrent pancreatitis, with increases in serum amylase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transferase but normal bilirubin. She has undergone laparotomy and routine cholecystectomy. However, postoperatively, the symptoms of pancreatitis recurred, which was a result of a gastric polyp, prolapsing into the duodenum diagnosed upon gastroscopy and proved to be a benign cystic leiomyoma.
