    Journal: J Gastroenterol; 1997 Aug; 32(4):558-61. PubMed ID: 9250908.
    Abstract:
    Familial adenomatous polyposis of the colon, or Gardner's syndrome, is often accompanied by adenomas of the stomach and duodenum. We experienced a rare case of Gardner's syndrome, with adenomas of the common bile duct, in a patient who presented with relapsing acute pancreatitis. Our findings indicate that adenoma in the common bile duct or pancreatic duct should be considered as a possible etiology when patients with familial polyposis or Gardner's syndrome present with pancreatitis, particularly relapsing acute pancreatitis.
