Capecitabine is an oral pro-drug of fluorouracil, which is a commonly used cytotoxic drug in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma. Many adverse effects are known to occur with capecitabine including diarrhea, palmar-planter erythrodysesthesia and nausea. We report a case of capecitabine-induced pancreatitis, also occurring with re-challenge.
