Chronic calcific pancreatitis in a patient with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia

H I Hertan et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 1991 May.

Abstract

We report on a patient with chronic calcific pancreatitis associated with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, and we have hypothesized a possible relationship between these two entities. The hyperviscosity of serum in Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia may be associated with a viscous pancreatic juice that leads to stone formation.
