AB  - Diagnosis  relies  on  a  combination  of  clinical  findings,  imaging  tests,  and  pancreatic  function  testing.Pancreatic  calcifications,  dilated  pancreatic  ducts,  diabetes  mellitus,  and  maldigestion  characterize  advanced  disease.Early-stage  diagnosis  remains  a  clinical  challenge,  especially  in  patients  with  chronic  or  episodic  abdominal  pain  and  no  imaging  abnormalities.
