Gunshot trauma to the pancreatic duct mainly have been published from wartime experiences, but bullet injury in these cases has lead to pancreatic duct disruption, not obstruction. We report a case of chronic pancreatitis which is presented 27 years following pancreatic duct obstruction due to bullet injury during wartime, which successfully treated. He was a 45-year-old man came with chronic epigastric abdominal pain. Physical examination was suggestive of pancreatitis and laboratory data confirmed the diagnosis.
