Arteriovenous malformation of the pancreatic head – difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. Indian Journal of Gastroenterology. 2011 Jan-Feb; 30(1): 46-48.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/141257A patient with pancreatic arteriovenous malformation who presented diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties is presented.
