Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may present as an acute abdomen of obscure pathophysiology. We report a case of a 32 year-old man presented with an acute abdomen who had diagnosed COVID-19 infection at emergency department one week ago. Physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness accompanying guarding and rebound. Other systemic examination, including the respiratory system, were unremarkable. Blood sample was obtained and the patient was evaluated via abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan that exhibited acute appendicitis and pancreatitis. The patient was referred to tertiary hospital for surgery. Coexistence of acute pancreatitis and appendicitis is a rare condition, furthermore we could not attain any literature in relation to this coexistence in COVID-19.
