Carcinoma of the pancreas is a common gastrointestinal neoplasm all over the world. It is the fourth most common cause of cancer related deaths in the United States of America. Though the disease is not as common in Africa compared to America and Europe, the incidence is however on the increase in Africa. Generally,the prognosis is poor especially in Africa, mainly because of late presentation. We reviewed the pattern of presentation and management outcome of patients with obstructive jaundice 2 0 to carcinoma of the pancreas from a prospectively kept data basein a dedicated Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery Unit over a four year period (July, 2008 – June, 2012).A total of fourteen patients were seen with this condition during the study period. There were more females than males with a ratio of 2.5:1. The age range was 40-80years with a mean age of 58yrs. The commonest mode of presentation was a combination of jaundice, pruritus and weight loss. The presence of jaundice with pruritus were the principal symptoms that brought these patients to the hospital. Late presentation is common in our environment and prognosis is poor.
