Abstract
Benign pancreatic hyperenzimemia is a newly identified condition, characterized by a chronic elevation, with swinging-rate of pancreatic amylase and/or lipase in absence of pancreatic disease. The paper describes two rare cases of pancreatic benign hyperlipasemia in children (to date only two case reports are described in the literature). Knowing this condition could be very useful to paediatricians, gastroenterologists and surgeons in the diagnosis and management of this syndrome. Pancreatic benign hyperlipasemia remains a diagnosis of exclusion, after having performed all the diagnostic investigations for acute, chronic or neoplastic pancreatic pathology.
