An eighteen year old Ethiopian patient was admitted to Jimma teaching hospital, after presenting with classical hyperglycemic symptoms associated with abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, cachexia, and radiological appearance of extensive pancreatic calcification. These clinical and radiologic findings correlated with the well-described entity of Fibrocalcific pancreatic diabetes, which has never been reported from Ethiopia before.
