  • Title: Pancreatic fibrosis calcification and situs inversus in a Liberian female; a case report.
    Author: Njoh J, Findley G, Dharmavaratha S.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1986 Jun; 38(2):188-9. PubMed ID: 3738986.
    Abstract:
    We report the first case of the Pancreatic fibrosis calcification syndrome (PFCS) in a Liberian. The patient presented with the classical features of the syndrome - a history of recurrent abdominal pain, diabetes mellitus, malabsorption and pancreatic calcification on plain abdominal X-ray. The patient also has situs inversus; we believe that this combination is a casual one. Since describing this case, five more cases have been diagnosed; we believe that this condition is not rare in Liberia.
