Abstract :Ganoderma lucidum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lingzhi in Chinese and Reishi in Japanese); is a popular medicinal mushroom and has been used for about 2.000 years in Chinese medicine. In the last 30 years, this fungi has been investigated by modern pharmacologists. Several studies showed that G. lucidum is effective in modulating immune functions and inhibiting tumor growth. Other than these effects, G. lucidum has also been demonstrated that it can be used in the treatment of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, nephritis, asthma, arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases and many other diseases. The certain mechanism of these effects is still unclear. So, G. lucidum is not suggested as a therapeutic agent. It is utilized mostly as an immune enhancer and a health supplement. In these paper, we report a case with acute pancreatitis presenting with different clinical findings.   Ganoderma lucidum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Japoncada`da Reishi, Çince`de Lingzhi); popüler bir tıbbi mantardır ve Çin tıbbında  yaklaşık 2.000 yıldır kullanılmaktadır  Son 30 yılda, bu mantarlar, modern farmakologlar tarafından incelenmiştir . Pek çok çalışma, G. lucidum`un immün fonksiyonları düzenlediği ve tümör büyümesinin engellenmesinde etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu etkilerin dışında G. lucidum ayrıca hipertansiyon, hiperlipidemi, diyabet, nefrit, astım, arterit, iltihaplı bağırsak hastalıkları ve diğer hastalıkların tedavisinde de kullanılabilir olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu etkilerin belli mekanizması hala belirsizdir. Bu nedenle, G. lucidum bir terapötik madde olarak tavsiye edilmez. Çoğunlukla, bir bağışıklık arttırıcı ve sağlık için ek gıda olarak kullanılır. Bu olgu sunumunda, farklı klinik bulgularla kliniğimize başvuran akut pankreatitli bir olgu sunulmuştur.  
Keywords : Akut pankreatit, ganoderma lucidum
