Abstract

Dorsal pancreas agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly that presents unique challenges in the realm of digestive and endocrine function. While the condition is uncommon, understanding its impact on pancreatic function and implementing appropriate medical interventions can significantly improve the quality of life for affected individuals. This is a case of a 74-year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus who presented with a history of loss of weight and loss of appetite.
