Abstract
Most authors believe that biliary pancreatitis rarely progresses to ch ronic pancreatitis. Here, we present a case of an 18-yr-old white male with a history of gallstone pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocyst re sulting in radiographic and pathologic evidence of pancreatic calcific ation over a 16-mo period.
