%X Pancreatic calcifications, exocrine insufficiency, and endocrine insufficiency are hallmarks of chronic pancreatitis, and their prevalence increases with the duration of disease. We present a case of chronic pancreatitis in which a dramatic and spontaneous decrease in the burden of both parenchymal and intraductal calcifications was noted during longitudinal follow-up. We discuss the possible reasons for spontaneously vanishing calcifications, an entity rarely described in the literature
