Chronic Alcoholism
Unlike recurrent acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis is characterised by reduced pancreatic exocrine function, malabsorption, diabetes, and pancreatic calcifications.[bestpractice.bmj.com]
Worldwide, alcohol is the major risk factor for chronic pancreatitis (70% to 80%).[bestpractice.bmj.com]
Pancreatic Abscess
A diagnosis of chronic calcific pancreatitis with a left perinephric abscess was made and a gastroenterological opinion was sought.[pancreas.imedpub.com]

During the operation dense calcification was noted in the parieties and dense adhesion of the omentum was noted with the colon and stomach parieties and thick pus was drained[jgid.org]
Chronic Pancreatitis

A 64-year-old man with recurrent acute pancreatitis was diagnosed as early CP and later progressed to definite CP with multiple pancreatic calcifications at the age of 69.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Calcification is unusual. The pancreatic duct is invariably dilated.[learningradiology.com]
Acute Pancreatitis

calcification, and pleural effusion (usually on the left). [27] It is noteworthy that the abdominal plain film can be completely normal in patients with acute pancreatitis[emedicine.com]
Additionally, evidence of nephrolithiasis can sometimes be seen as well as foreign bodies or the telltale pancreatic calcifications of chronic pancreatitis.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Hereditary Pancreatitis
We demonstrate that pancreatic duct abnormalities, not previously described, are present prior to the appearance of the typical pancreatic calcifications of HP.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
During the ensuing years she had recurrent episodes of abdominal pain and chronic pancreatitis with extensive pancreatic calcifications was finally demonstrated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In subjects with R122C mutation symptoms, pancreatic calcifications, main pancreatic duct changes, diabetes, steatorrhea, pancreatic cancer and surgery were recorded.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pancreatic Ductal Stone
Pancreatic calcifications are pathognomonic for severe CP and are located exclusively in the ductal system.[emedicine.medscape.com]

The presence and distribution of pancreatic intraductal calcifications (defined as areas of hyperattenuation on nonenhanced images) were recorded.[synapse.koreamed.org]

Pancreatic Pseudocyst
Few calcifications noted in pancreatic parenchyma.[npplweb.com]
We present a very rare case of infeasibility of endoscopic drainage of a postinflammatory pancreatic pseudocyst, impressing the stomach, due to cyst wall calcifications.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Because there was no evidence of pancreatic calcification on CT and the ERCP did not show any ductal irregularities, we assume pseudocyst formation occurred as a complication[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
