    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a suspicious tumor in the body of the pancreas, along with a dilated main pancreatic duct and edema of the pancreatic tail. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography was performed after treating the patient's pancreatitis. When a cannula tip was advanced beyond the stenosis, deep into the distal pancreatic duct, thick white pus was evacuated. A bacteriological examination of the aspirated pancreatic juice revealed Enterobacter cloacae, and a cytological examination revealed adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis was acute obstructive suppurative pancreatic ductitis associated with pancreatic carcinoma.
