Abstract

Circumportal pancreas is a rare and previously not well-recognized anatomical variant. In contrast, pancreas divisum is the most frequent anatomical variant in the pancreas. We report a case in which circumportal pancreas was accompanied with pancreas divisum in a deceased donor for islet transplantation. A unique aspect of our case is that the connecting portion behind the portal vein between the pancreas head and body originated from the ventral pancreas. This is the first case report describing a ventral embryogenic origin of the connecting portion of a circumportal pancreas accompanied with pancreas divisum.
