Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of body and tail of pancreas. We report a case which presented with epigastric pain 52-year old woman with complete agenesis of the dorsal pancreas. Multidetector CT (MDCT) revealed a normal pancreatic head, but pancreatic body and tail were not visualized. The presence of small (jejunal loops) intestine and stomach in the distal pancreas bed, adjacent to the splenic vein. The final diagnosis was dorsal pancreatic agenesis. Dependent stomach and dependent intestine signs on MDCT imaging can be diagnostic obviating further radiologic examinations. In contrast to the reports of radiologic literatures, both dependent stomach and dependent intestine sign are noted in our patient.
