CONTEXT Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is rare. The dorsal pancreatic agenesis is described in two forms, the partial and the complete form. PATIENTS with this anomaly may be asymptomatic or may present with diabetes mellitus, epigastric pain, acute or chronic pancreatitis. CASE REPORT We report the computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangio...

140 Sir, Portal annular pancreas (PAP) is an uncommon and under-recognized congenital anomaly of the pancreas, which mostly remains asymptomatic but can have serious implications if a pancreatic surgery is being contemplated. In contrast to a conventional annular pancreas in which the pancreatic tissue encircles the second part of the duodenum, portal annular pancreas is characterized by encase...

Heterotopic tissue is a congenital anomaly that has been previously reported. Gastric and pancreatic heterotopia are among the most studied ones. Herein, we describe a case of a combined pancreatic and gastric heterotopia that formed a mass and caused a small intestine obstruction in a 61-year-old male. We also did a brief literature review of cases with gastric and pancreatic heterotopia in ad...

Heterotopic pancreas is normal pancreatic tissue that lacks anatomic and vascular continuity with the main body of the pancreas. Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is a rare congenital anomaly found usually in the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum and is rarely seen in the esophagus. This is a case of heterotopic pancreas found in the esophagus that was removed thorascopically.

The pancreatic biliary maljunction is a rare anomaly that affects mainly females, defined as an anatomical maljunction of the pancreatic duct and the biliary duct confluence, and may be a rare cause of recurrent acute pancreatitis. In order to early diagnosis and prompt treatment, ERCP has an important role in it.

Dorsal agenesis of the pancreas is a very rare congenital anomaly with less than 100 cases reported in world literature till 2020. associated pancreatic tumors extremely rare; only 17 have been to date. Here we case dorsal mixed carcinoma pancreas.

As seen on ultrasound, CT and MRI, pancreatic carcinoma typically presents as a focally enlarged mass in the pancreas and/or dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Some other solid, tumor-like lesions in the pancreatic head may have similar imaging findings and be indistinguishable from pancreatic carcinoma. We retrospectively review the patients who have the solid, tumor-like lesions at pancr...

Developmental anomalies of the pancreas have been reported; but among these, agenesis of dorsal pancreas is an extremely rare congenital pancreatic anomaly. It may be asymptomatic and incidentally detected on imaging or may be associated with diabetes mellitus or attacks of pancreatitis. We report a rare case of agenesis of dorsal pancreas that was detected incidentally on imaging and there was...

We report a case of intrapancreatic accessory spleen that was initially misdiagnosed as an endocrine tumour. Although rare, this anomaly should be included in the differential diagnosis of caudal pancreatic masses to avoid unnecessary surgeries.
