ABSTRACT
Tropical clacific pancreatitis can be accompanied by varying degrees of malnutrition but full-blown kwashiorkor is an extremely rare presentation. We report the case of a 10-year-old male who presented with clinical features of severe kwashiorkor. He had extensive pancreatic clacification and exocrine pancreatic deficiency. The child was treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement, and enteral nutrition supplemented with vitamins and micronutrients. Following therapy, he started gaining weight, the skin changes partly disappeared and his hair resumed its normal black colour.
