Abstract

Fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) is a form of diabetes secondary to tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP). The usual age of onset of FCPD is between 15 and 50 years. This paper reports on two unusual cases of FCPD with age of onset below 5 years. This is the first report of FCPD in infancy and raises intriguing questions about the rapidity with which calcification occurs in this entity.
