Abstract

An unusual case of a coexistence of pancreas divisum and intestinal malrotation in a patient with cholecystolithiasis is described herein. The diagnosis of pancreas divisum was established by endoscopic retrograde pancreatography, and the intestinal malrotation was diagnosed by duodenography and barium enema. An operation was performed for the cholecystolithiasis. The pancreas was soft, and its shape was almost normal. Cholecystectomy and prophylactic appendectomy were performed, however nothing was done to the pancreas.
