Abstract
• In a patient with poorly differentiated ovarian carcinoma, the symptomatology was mistaken for acute pancreatitis. A review of the pertinent literature argues in favor of the early use of amylase isoenzymes in patients whose history, objective signs, and routine diagnostic studies fail to disclose pancreatic disease.
