Abstract :Introduction: COVID-19 is a multisystemic condition that presents with different signs and symptoms. Studies conducted have shown that it shows its effect on different tissues through Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 receptors. In particular, gastrointestinal system symptoms have started to attract more attention. Case Report: We present two COVID-19 cases, aged 82 and 70, presenting with acute pancreatitis without any other risk factors. An 82-year-old female patient had a fatal outcome despite the treatment, while a 70-year-old female patient was discharged for outpatient follow-up. Conclusion: While COVID-19 patients are typically admitted with symptoms of respiratory system, some patients may have symptoms such as nausea-vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.Keywords : COVID-19, , PAncreatitis, , Necrotizan
