title: [Pancreatic pathology in black Africans (excluding diabetes)].
abstract: Number of cases of pancreatitis obviously increases in african Black not so much acute forms but mainly chronic calcifying forms of which ethylism represents the main etiology. As in cancers and pancreatic cysts, symptomatology shows no particular characteristic in Negroes. Moreover, because some deficiencies in the sanitary network, lethality remains at a high level. A special form, principally identified in Kerala and Java, is met in some african areas: the juvenile tropical pancreatitis syndrom, with diabetes as main symptom, of which no explanation can be given up to now.
