Chronic calcific pancreatitis associated with osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Four years later, she presented with steatorrhea with osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism, a rare occurrence in chronic pancreatitis. She improved with pancreatic enzyme supplementation and calcium and vitamin D therapy.
