Abstract

Background: The circumstances of the discovery of Kahler's disease are multiple but acute pancreatitis has rarely been described as a pathology revealing this disease. Case report: We report the case of a patient who presented with acute pancreatitis, revealing Kahler's disease. Conclusion: Kahler’s disease is rarely manifested as acute pancreatitis, hence the importance of complementary examinations in this case, especially when no one of its common etiological factors is found and when other nonspecific signs are present.
