Description
Pancreatic involvement in paraesophageal hernias is rare and can precipitate acute pancreatitis through mechanical compression or ischemia. We report an 82-year-old woman who presented with epigastric pain and an elevated lipase level. Imaging demonstrated a large type IV paraesophageal hernia containing the stomach, transverse colon, and pancreatic body and tail, with inflammatory changes localized to the pancreatic tail.
