Abstract

Acute pancreatitis related to interferon alpha therapy is very rare. We report two patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) who developed acute pancreatitis following treatment with interferon alpha. A review of the literature on the association of pancreatitis and interferon alpha is provided. Possible pathophysiologic mechanisms are also discussed.
