Dorsal pancreatic agenesis is an extremely rare developmental anomaly of gastrointestinal system. It is mostly an incidental finding and detected in adulthood. Pancreatic anomaly associated with renal positional defect is very rare association. We have reported a case of complete dorsal pancreas agenesis associated with crossed renal ectopia in a 30year-old gentleman who was investigated for gastric malignancy. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) abdomen is an important imaging to see the anomalous pancreas, abnormal renal position and evaluation of gastric malignancy for its further management. Upper abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive imaging to see the pancreatic duct.

“…Two possible mechanisms in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis are sphincter of Oddi dysfunction[12] and hypertrophy of the remnant ventral gland with higher intrapancreatic duct pressures. [13] In isolation, these changes may not result in pancreatitis. The role of genes in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis is being increasingly recognized.…”

“…[3] Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is relatively a newer technique, which provides high-resolution images of pancreatic parenchyma and ductal system. [4] Majority of the cases were diagnosed incidentally during the workup for an unrelated abdominal problem or in the process of evaluation for abdominal pain. Till now, around 100 cases of dorsal pancreatic agenesis have been reported in the world literature.…”

Complete agenesis of the dorsal pancreas (ADP) is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly, compatible with life. The first case was reported in 1911 and so far around 100 cases have been reported in the world literature. Majority of the patients with this anomaly are asymptomatic or associated with abdominal pain, hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, and acute or chronic pancreatitis. We present a case report of a 34-year-old male with ADP, diagnosed incidentally during radiological evaluation for abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography confirmed the absence of neck, body, and tail of the pancreas along with duct of Santorini and the minor duodenal papilla. Because of its rarity of occurrence, clinical awareness of the ADP can expand the differential diagnosis and improve patient management in pertinent light of the world literature.
