Abstract

Clonorchis Sinensis, a common liver fluke, is known to cause biliary disease and can present with a wide array of symptoms. It’s mostly found in Asian countries due to consumption of undercooked or raw fish. Although Cholangiocarcinoma is a known serious complication of this disease, Pancreatic neoplasms are rare and have seldom been reported. Here, we report a case of an 80-year-old man who presents with pancreatic adenocarcinoma associated with Clonorchis Sinensis infection
