Résumé
The circumportal pancreas (CPP) is a normal though rare anatomical variant of the pancreas resulting from fusion of ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds during embryogenesis. Preoperative imaging in a 69-year-old man displayed the presence of a CPP completely encasing the portal vein. For pancreatic resection, missing a CPP is associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications.
