dc.description.abstractPancreatic adenocarcinoma can present with a vast spectrum of rare manifestations. It usually occurs after the age of 50 years, the peak incidence being in sixth and seventh decades. We report a previously asymptomatic subject of pancreatic adenocarcinoma who presented for the first time with massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Endoscopy revealed ruptured esophageal varices which were secondary to tumour-induced thrombosis of the portal vein. Besides the uncommon mode of presentation, the patient was unusual because of his young age. Further, he was non-icteric at the time of presentation and remained so throughout the clinical course despite having a large lesion in the head of the pancreas.en_US
