| Abstrakt: | Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare congenital disorder with only a handful of cases described in the literature. It presents a diagnostic dilemma. Cross-sectional imaging is the cornerstone for diagnosis. It could have a syndromic association with polysplenia and cardiac anomalies. Pancreas divisum and chronic pancreatitis may present with similar symptoms and must be ruled out. We present a case of a 55-year-old male with recurrent non-specific abdominal pain and diabetes mellitus. He was managed with insulin and painkillers for symptomatic relief. We also reviewed approximately 68 cases described in the literature to date. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2023, Lalchandani et al.) |
