[Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis caused by asparaginase. A case in a child with a favorable course].
Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis developed in a 12 year old boy treated for lymphoblastic lymphoma. No etiological factor could be identified, except for asparaginase. Although the condition was initially severe, the patient recovered. Regular CT monitoring demonstrated the formation of a pseudocyst in the pancreatic tail which spontaneously regressed without complications.
