Abstract
An unusual instance of chronic fibrosing pancreatitis in a young girl is presented. The diagnosis should be suspected in cases of long-term, unexplained recurring, disabling, abdominal pain. Complete evaluation of the etiologic factors and anatomy before laparotomy is essential. A thorough examination of the pancreatobiliary tree during surgery and a careful biopsy will prove the diagnosis. The etiology of this fibrosing process cannot be explained for obstruction does not appear to be a predominant factor.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
