  5. Q3: Describe the microscopic findings

  6. Q3: Describe the microscopic findings

  7. Q4: What is your diagnosis?

  8. Example of surgical treatment –Whipple specimen

  9. Q5: Explain the jaundice in this patient

  19. Clinico-Pathologic Correlation:Ranson Criteria to Predict Severity of Acute Pancreatitis • 0 hours • Age >55 • White blood cell count>16,000/mm3 • Blood glucose>200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) • Lactate dehydrogenase>350 U/L • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)>250 U/L • 48 hours • Hematocrit Fall by 10 percent • Blood urea nitrogen Increase by 5 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) despite fluids • Serum calcium<8 mg/dL (2 mmol/L • O2<60 mmHg • Base deficit>4 MEq/L • Fluid sequestation>6000 mL • The presence of 1 to 3 criteria represents mild pancreatitis; the mortality rate rises significantly with four or more criteria. .

  20. CASE 3 • CHIEF COMPLAINT: Abdominal pain • HISTORY: 53 year-old man with alcohol abuse and a 20 pack-year history of smoking has been hospitalized several times in the past for acute pancreatitis.
