Abdominal computed tomography revealed peripancreatic fat tissue edema and a heterogeneous appearance of the pancreas (fig. 1). Based on these findings, it was concluded that edematous pancreatitis was in its initial stage. The patient's oral intake and medications were discontinued. An intravenous antibiotic was given for prophylaxis. On the third day after admission, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting were improved. Serum amylase levels were normal and the patient was told to take specific measures addressed to his obesity.
