Pancreatic carcinoma (PC) manifests late in the course of disease. The lack of early symptoms leads to delay in diagnosis. Acute pancreatitis (AP) presentation of PC is reported in case series and reports. We report the first case of PC in the Indian literature, who initially presented with AP but in view of weight loss and persistent pain was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma of pancreas six months later.
