Abstract
A patient with pancreatic arteriovenous malformation who presented diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties is presented. The initial tests appeared to suggest
inflammatory bowel disease, but the diagnosis was clinched by the finding of blood issuing from the ampulla of Vater. Repeated angiographic embolization did not obliterate the vascular malformation, and the symptoms eventually resolved after Whipple’s pancreaticoduodenectomy.
