The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Summary

All cases of disseminated calcification of the pancreas reported in the literature are presented in brief. The 13th case is herewith reported in detail. It presents several characteristic features in etiology, symptomatology, and roentgen and laboratory findings.

Attention is drawn to the difference between pancreatic lithiasis and disseminated parenchymal calcification of the pancreas.

The apparent rarity of the disease is questioned and note is made of current investigation to determine the true incidence.
