    Abstract:
    Acute pancreatitis as an initial symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is rare. We present a report of a 46-year-old female patient who had fever, abdominal pain and vomiting, elevated pancreatic enzyme levels, hypocalcemia, hypoxemia, and various other laboratory abnormalities. She was first diagnosed with acute severe pancreatitis and then with SLE after further investigations. After a 2-mo treatment with somatostatin, the patient recovered.
