abstract={Acute pancreatitis (AP) has rarely been reported in association with pediatric Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) and even very occasionally reported as a primary clinical feature presenting before the development of characteristic palpable purpura. We describe here a five years and six months old girl presented with acute pancreatitis in the form of focal groove pancreatitis. The characteristic rash of HSP developed later in the disease course. This rare entity is discussed to alert pediatricians to include acute pancreatitis in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain complicating HSP.},
