Abstract
Recurrent abdominal pain in an adolescent population is a frequent complaint. However, diseases of the pancreas, and especially chronic pancreatitis, in this age group are extremely uncommon. One type of pancreatitis, fibrosing pancreatitis, has been reported in only 14 previous pediatric patients, five of whom were over 12 years of age. We report an additional 12-year-old female with this condition. This case serves to remind us that fibrosing pancreatitis needs to be considered in any adolescent patient with chronic abdominal pain, recurrent vomiting, weight loss, steatorrhea, and painless obstructive jaundice.
