title: Fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes in a child: case report.
abstract: A case of fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes in a 12-year old boy is described. A medline literature search back to 1966 revealed that no cases had been reported from East Africa. We reviewed the literature and suggest that the condition is probably under-reported.
