==Description==

'''Pancreolithiasis''' occurs uncommonly in cattle and very rarely in other species. The caculi are usually carbonates or phosphates of calicium and magnesium, 4-5mm in size and of no pathological importance. Usually an incidental finding at post mortem examination.

 +
==Signalment==
