Abstract
|
|
|
Pancreatic duct stones are occasionally seen in the patient with chronic relapsing pancreatitis. It has various etiologic associations and chronic alconolism is believed to be the most important etiologic factor among them. Most investigators
have
considered the panceatic calculi as a complication of the chronic pancreatitis, not as a distinct disease.
Although the role of pancreatic stone protein is being studied, the pathogenesis of stone formation is not proved.
The size of pancreatic stone varies from minute, sand-like particles to large solitary or multiple calculi. The largest stone that has been reported was 4.5cm long.
We report a rare case of large staghorn pancreatic duct stone (4.2cm in length) in a 36-year-old non-alcoholic female without pancreatitis.
