Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory tract disease but involves other organ systems too, especially gastrointestinal system. Acute pancreatitis is one of the manifestations of COVID-19, as pancreatic gland also expresses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors. We present two cases, where none of them presented with symptoms of pancreatitis on admission. Our first patient presented with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to COVID-19 and during her stay necrotizing pancreatitis was incidentally detected on CT scan. Our second patient presented as an acute fatty liver of pregnancy and was incidentally found to be COVID-19 positive and later developed symptoms of acute pancreatitis.
