RESUMO
Valentino syndrome is one of the rare classical presentations of duodenal perforation, wherein the leaked contents collect at the right lower quadrant of the abdomen causing local peritonitis and mimicking appendicitis. Here we present a case profile of a 28-year-old gentleman, who presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain and mass, which was clinically diagnosed as acute appendicular inflammatory mass. Later with laboratory reports and radiological imaging, he was confirmed to have acute pancreatitis, and actually the peripancreatic fluid collection has tracked down into the right iliac fossa and pelvis to present similar to Valentino syndrome. This article is reported to highlight acute pancreatitis as a cause of Valentino syndrome.
