Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia is a known but underestimated cause of acute pancreatitis. Although the connection between acute pancreatitis and type I, IV, and V hyperlipoproteinemia has been described, using Fredrickson’s classification, the connection between type IIb hyperlipoproteinemia and associated pancreatitis has only been reported in a few more rare cases. That is why we present a female patient with recurrent hyperlipidaemic pancreatitis with type IIb hyperlipidaemia.
