Pancreatitis is a rare disease under the age of 15 years, and especially so when associated with gallstones. A case is reported here of a young girl who had acute pancreatitis and was subsequently found to have gallstones. She made an uneventful recovery and remains symptom‐free after cholecystectomy.
