There have been reports of several developmental anomalies of the pancreas in the past two decades, and among these, one of the rare entities is dorsal agenesis of the pancreas [1]. Our report is on an 18-year-old male patient who presented with total agenesis of the dorsal pancreas. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed a normal pancreatic head, but there was no observation of the body and tail of the pancreas. A magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) confirmed the absence of the major pancreatic duct. This case was diagnosed as dorsal agenesis of the pancreas. As this is a very unusual case, this has been reported here as a case study due to its rare presentation.
