Diabetes is often related to pancreatic cancer and sometimes the only symptom of an underlying pancreatic malignancy. We report a case of new-onset diabetes in a 83-year-old male patient that exposed an unknown pancreatic carcinoma. Patient was treated with chemoradiotherapy and diabetes was regulated by glicazide introduction. Taking into account its late recognition and poor prognosis, in a case of sudden new-onset diabetes, pancreatic cancer should be considered.Dijabetes se često dovodi u vezu s karcinomom gušterače, štoviše, katkad je prvi simptom maligne bolesti gušterače.
U ovom radu prikazujemo slučaj novonastalog dijabetesa u 83-godišnjeg bolesnika koji je ukazao na skriveni karcinom gušterače. Bolesnik je liječen primarnom kemoradioterapijom, a dijabetes je reguliran uvođenjem glikazida. Uzimajući u obzir njegovo kasno otkrivanje i lošu prognozu, u slučaju naglog razvoja dijabetesa trebalo bi posumnjati na karcinom gušterače
