Pancreatobiliary tumors are an uncommon etiology but should be considered in patients older than 50 years who present with no identifiable cause of AP. Both benign and malignant lesions, such as periampullary tumor, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumor, and intraductal pancreatic mucinous neoplasm, can present with pancreatitis in 2–7% of patients [54]. These tumors can be diagnosed by CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or EUS. For small tumors, EUS is better than cross‐sectional imaging [55].
