Abstract
A 40-year old male residing in the Mediterranean region and afflicted with chronic pancreatitis and diabetes is presented. This is a case of chronic calcific non-alcoholic pancreatitis with characteristic intraductal calculi on abdominal X-ray. Five years following the initial episode of pancreatitis, the patient developed insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus. This case accords with the criteria for fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes with the unique feature of the patient having been born in Greece and being a resident of Greece.
