Overview

Patients with acute on chronic autoimmune pancreatitis may assume a characteristic position in an attempt to relieve their abdominal pain. Patients with steatorrhea or advanced disease may present with loss of subcutaneous fat, temporal wasting, sunken supraclavicular fossa, and other physical signs of malnutrition.

Physical Examination

Appearance of the Patient

Patients with acute on chronic autoimmune pancreatitis may assume a characteristic position in an attempt to relieve their abdominal pain:

  • Lying on the left sid
  • Flexing the spine
  • Drawing the knees up toward the chest

Patients with steatorrhea or advanced disease may present with:

Vital Signs

  • Vital signs usually within normal limits

Skin

Neck

Lungs

Heart

  • S1 normal and soft
  • S2 normal
  • No murmurs

Abdomen

  • Abdominal tenderness may be noticed in the epigastrium or left upper quadrant
  • A palpable abdominal mass in the epigastrium or left upper quadrant
