Selective agenesis of pancreatic isthmus parenchyma with preservation of main pancreatic duct continuity, a very rare entity: Case report

摘要

Context: Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare anomaly, mostly associated with other medical conditions. It may be complicated with pancreatic neoplasms. Case report: We report the case of a 51-year-old male with selective agenesis of pancreatic isthmus with preservation of main pancreatic duct and branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) with suspicious features of the pancreas. Conclusion: This is probably the first report of isolated agenesis of pancreatic isthmus with conservation of main pancreatic duct.
