Hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the intestine is a rare
anomaly. It was first described by Demetrius Chilaiditi.
This disorder may be associated with a variety of disorders.
Though it is frequently asymptomatic with incidental
radiographic sign Chilaiditi’s syndrome may combine with
imperative clinical problems requiring surgical treatment.
Some symptoms mimicking the one occurred in pancreatic
malignancy which was defined in this report may be the
presenting finding in the aged patient with this syndrome.
Even though Chilaiditi’s syndrome is not listed among
causes of pancreatic cancer, we present the first known
report in the literature about the Chilaiditi’s syndrome
associated with pancreatic malignancy. [Turk J Cancer
