Incomplete pancreas divisum coexistent with anomalous union of pancreaticobiliary duct--report of a Chinese patient

Hepatogastroenterology. 1996 Nov-Dec;43(12):1650-2.

Abstract

The coexistence of incomplete pancreas divisum and anomalous union of pancreaticobiliary duct is uncommon and, to the best of our knowledge, has been reported only in three patients who also presented with choledochal cysts. We have encountered a 54-year-old patient with symptom of intermittent right upper quadrant pain. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed coexistence of incomplete pancreas divisum and anomalous union of pancreaticobiliary duct, but no dilatation of bile duct.
