It may be complicated with pancreatic neoplasms.Case report We report the case of a 51-year-old male with selective agenesis of pancreatic isthmus with preservation of main pancreatic duct and branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) with suspicious features of the pancreas.Conclusion This is probably the first report of isolated agenesis of pancreatic isthmus with conservation of main pancreatic duct.
