Herein, we are reporting a COVID-19 patient with acute pancreatitis (AP) in Zanjan, Iran. This patient showed acute pancreatitis as a COVID-19-related complication, emphasizing the importance of evaluating pancreas-specific plasma amylase levels in patients with COVID-19 and intestinal cramping. © 2022, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences and Health Services.
