Months of epigastric pain with diarrhoea (steatorrhoea) and weight loss = exocrine insufficiency, and pancreatic calcification on CT is the hallmark of chronic pancreatitis. The 7 cm cystic lesion in the tail fits a pseudocyst, a known complication of chronic pancreatitis.
- Cancer of the head would show a mass/obstructive jaundice, not calcification with a cyst; acute pancreatitis does not last 4 months.
