Summary

A rare case of pancreatic arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a 57-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and bleeding into the biliary tract. This pancreatic AVM caused significant symptoms, highlighting its potential as a rare cause of haemobilia.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Pancreatic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are exceptionally rare vascular anomalies.
  • Haemobilia, bleeding into the biliary tract, can arise from various causes, but pancreatic AVM is an infrequent etiology.
  • Accurate diagnosis of pancreatic AVMs is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 57-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and signs of gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including CT scan and angiography, revealed a pancreatic arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
  • The pancreatic AVM was identified as the source of bleeding into the pancreatic head and biliary tract.

Findings:

  • The pancreatic AVM led to significant bleeding into the pancreatic head, causing severe abdominal pain.

  • Bleeding from the pancreatic AVM into the biliary tract resulted in haemobilia.
  • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and clinical presentation of pancreatic AVMs.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering pancreatic AVM in the differential diagnosis of unexplained abdominal pain and haemobilia.
    • Advanced imaging techniques are essential for the diagnosis of rare pancreatic vascular lesions.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment strategies for pancreatic AVMs is warranted.
