Core Tip	Mucinous cystic adenoma (MCA) of the pancreas is a benign tumor with ovarian-like tissue located in the body or the tail of the pancreas. We report the first case of atrophy of the distal pancreas secondary to compression by a giant MCA. We raise the question of underlying dorsal agenesis of the pancreas (DAP) but as ovarian-like tissue of MCA comes from the close migration of the left gonad and the dorsal pancreas during embryogenesis MCA can not be associated with true DAP. Finally, the absence of diabetes mellitus, and thrombosis of the splenic vein confirmed the secondary atrophy caused by a mechanism of compression.
