We report a case of pancreatic arteriovenous malformation presenting mesenteric and peripancreatic hemorrhages. A 62-year-old man presented to the emergency department of our hospital with acute periumbilical pain. Diffuse mesenteric and peripancreatic hemorrhages and an approximately 1 cm aneurysmal sac were observed on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Celiac and superior mesenteric angiography revealed pancreatic arteriovenous malformation, which was then treated with transcatheter arterial embolization using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Complete obliteration of pancreatic arteriovenous malformation was evident on a follow-up computed tomography performed 2 months later.
