Abstract: Complete agenesis of the dorsal pancreas (ADP) is an exceptionally rare congenital malformation, resulting from the failure of the dorsal pancreatic bud to develop during embryogenesis. This anomaly leads to the absence of both the pancreatic body and tail. We describe the case of a patient presenting with atypical manifestations, including long-standing abdominal pain and recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis beginning in childhood. Diagnosis was established through abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging, which confirmed the complete absence of the dorsal pancreas. This observation adds to the limited number of cases—slightly more than one hundred—reported worldwide in the medical literature.
