Pancreatitis, quite literally "inflammation of the pancreas", causes the pancreas to swell. Pain, nausea (sometimes vomiting) and abdominal distention and tenderness are all likely to occur during an attack of acute pancreatitis. The pancreatic juices which contain digestive enzymes leak during this condition and cause the organ to essentially "digest itself".
