Pancreatic calculi are typically a sequela of chronic pancreatitis. Here, we present a patient who was found to have an obstructing one-centimeter pancreatic calculus secondary to recurrent gallstone pancreatitis. Recent retrospective studies have focused on the optimal treatment of large pancreatic calculi that were defined as greater than five millimeters. But most studies fail to comment on much larger stone as in this case report. Further guidelines and investigation need to be done aiming toward the optimal treatment of relatively large pancreatic stones.
胰腺结石通常是慢性胰腺炎的后遗症。在此,我们报告一名患者,该患者因复发性胆源性胰腺炎继发一枚阻塞性一厘米胰腺结石。近期的回顾性研究聚焦于直径大于5毫米的大型胰腺结石的最佳治疗方法。但大多数研究未对本病例报告中如此大的结石进行评论。针对相对较大胰腺结石的最佳治疗,需要进一步制定指南并开展研究。
