Popis: Painless idiopathic fibrosing chronic pancreatitis as a cause of obstructive jaundice in childhood and adolescence is extremely rare. Only four patients have been reported earlier in the paediatric literature. We report a case story of a young man with this disease and with jaundice as the primary manifestation. Our report demonstrates the need to consider chronic pancreatitis as cause of jaundice in young patients.
