Pancreatic calcifications, exocrine insufficiency, and endocrine insufficiency are hallmarks of chronic pancreatitis, and their prevalence increases with the duration of disease. We present a case of chronic pancreatitis in which a dramatic and spontaneous decrease in the burden of both parenchymal and intraductal calcifications was noted during longitudinal follow-up. We discuss the possible reasons for spontaneously vanishing calcifications, an entity rarely described in the literature.
胰腺钙化、外分泌功能不全和内分泌功能不全是慢性胰腺炎的特征，其患病率随疾病持续时间增加。我们报告一例慢性胰腺炎病例，在纵向随访期间发现实质和导管内钙化负担显著且自发减轻。我们讨论了钙化自发消失的可能原因，这是文献中很少描述的一种情况。
