Isolated Polycystic Pancreatic Disease: A Very Rare Cause of Pancreatic Insufficiency

A44-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of 4 to 6 loose stools daily. She denied abdominal pain, weight loss, or fatigue. Laboratory tests including stool calprotectine were normal. Upper and lower endoscopy and biopsy specimens taken were unremarkable. Her serum carotene level was 1.7 mcg/dL (normal range, 2.3–65.0 mcg/dL), fecal elastase concentration was 120 mg/g (normal level, >200 mg/g), and a stool study was positive for qualitative fat. An abdominal ultrasound showed multiple pancreatic cysts.
