Acute pancreatitis and polycystic kidney disease, is this relationship possible?

<title>Abstract</title> Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a disease characterised by the development of multiple cystic lesions at the renal level, which may be associated with extrarenal cystic manifestations. At the digestive level, liver involvement is noteworthy, and on very rare occasions may present as pancreatic cystic lesions that are usually asymptomatic. We present the case of a 66-year-old male with a history of chronic kidney disease associated with this genetic variant, who was admitted for a second episode of acute pancreatitis with imaging tests showing the presence of a pancreatic cystic lesion causing obstruction of the pancreatic and biliary duct, which evolved favourably with conservative management.
