She underwent abdominal CT and MRI scans, which in conjunction with the angiography that followed and revealed vascular distribution from the splenic artery, led to the diagnosis of pancreatic arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) (Figures 1, 2).
Superior mesenteric angiogram shows prominent vascularity in the pancreatic mass during the arterial phase.
