Introduction
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), is a chronic autoimmune disease that
can affect various organs and tissues throughout the body. In this
autoimmune disease multiple organ systems including the skin, joints,
kidneys, heart, pancreas, lungs, brain, blood cells, are involved (1).
Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) is a severe and potentially
life-threatening inflammatory condition affecting the pancreas. NP is
characterized by tissue death, can occur in individuals with various
underlying conditions, and SLE is among the potential contributors.
While lupus primarily affects the joints, skin, kidneys, and other
organs, it can also impact the pancreas. Pancreatic involvement in SLE
may present with a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea,
and vomiting (2).
