Abstract:
Agenesis of dorsal pancreas (ADP) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly defined as an absence of the dorsal ductal system resulting from failure in the embryologic development of the pancreatic dorsal bud. Most of ADP patients are asymptomatic but some of them suffer recurrent pancreatitis and diabetes. Few number of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in association with ADP has been published previously in other countries. There was no such case reported in Korea. We report a case diagnosed as pancreatic adenocarcinoma with ADP.
