Key Clinical Message Dorsal agenesis of the pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly. Fifty‐eight cases were reported from 1913 till 2015, nine of which were associated with tumors. We present the 10th case, the first to be associated with pancreatic mucinous adenocarcinoma and cystic teratoma, successfully managed by Whipple procedure and total pancreatectomy.
