| Summary: | The common presenting symptoms of pancreatic cancer are abdominal pain, weight loss, and jaundice. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis is a very rare emergent clinical condition. However, pancreatic ductal cystadenocarcinoma presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis was not reported. We describe a 60-year-old man with pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis as the initial manifestation. It must be kept in mind that in diabetic ketoacidosis cases, the precipitating factor may be pancreatic ductal cystadenocarcinoma.
