“…Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas can be detected with computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), but the gold-standard technique is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Highlights Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly. The possibility of finding this disorder is increasing with the use of advanced radiological techniques. Some patients experience no symptoms. Rarely, they may also develop pancreatic exocrine insufficiency or pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This diagnosis could be missed by US, due to difficulty on visualization of body and tail of pancreas.

Additionally, EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) can reduce the damage induced by biopsy.…”

Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare congenital pancreatic malformation. We herein describe a 67-year-old woman with a 5-day history of lower back pain who was eventually diagnosed with agenesis of the dorsal pancreas. Abdominal computed tomography showed an enlarged pancreatic head, but the pancreatic body and tail were invisible. The magnetic resonance imaging findings were similar to the computed tomography findings. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed that the major pancreatic duct was mildly dilated but otherwise normal. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed absence of the pancreatic body and tail, an enlarged head of the pancreas, and mild pancreatic duct dilation. The final diagnosis was dorsal pancreatic agenesis.
