Hereditary chronic pancreatitis: report of two cases of a rare entity in japanese population

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

Les auteurs rapportent deux observations de patients japonais souffrant de pancréatite chronique héréditaire : une femme de 46 ans atteinte de pancréatite chronique et son fils aîné, qui fut symptomatique dès l’âge de 18 ans et dont le diagnostic de pancréatite chronique calcifiante a été posé à l’âge de 22 ans. Ces observations conduisent à une discussion de la prévalence de la pancréatite familiale dans la population japonaise.
