Hyperlipidemia can be a cause of acute pancreatitis. For example, dyslipidemia classified Fredrickson/WHO classification type I, V can induce acute pancreatitis spontaneously. Secondary hyperlipidemia (DM, alcohol, estrogen, etc.) also can induce acute pancreatitis. High serum amylase level and triglyceride level are hall markers of diagnosis. But lactescent serum interferes with accurate laboratory analysis of amylase. Serum amylase was normal or low in 50% of cases. Clinical course and treatment are similar with other causes of acute pancreatitis. Lipoprotein electrophoresis helps classify dyslipidemia by Fredrickson/WHO classification. In some cases, to prevent hyperlipidemic pancreatitis, serum triglyceride should be lower than 500 mg/dl. We report two cases of acute pancreatitis caused by dyslipidemia.

With increase of endoscopy, physical trauma including endoscopic procedure can develop gastric submucosal hematoma. Symptoms are usually abdominal pain, vomiting, fever and bloody stool due to upper GI tract obstruction and complications like intestinal obstruction or peritonitis. Diagnosis is usually made by CT, trans-esophageal sonogram and patients with no intestinal obstruction or peritonitis complications and good general condition usually recover with only conservative treatment. Authors have experienced submucosal hematoma developed after submucosal epinephrine injection with intent to uplift distal lesion in gastric polypectomy and improved with conservative treatment.
