    Abstract:
    Arterio-venous malformation (AVM) of the head of the pancreas is a rare condition that may cause upper gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) bleeding. A 45-year-old man with a large AVM at the pancreato-biliary region is described. The patient had recurrent episodes of hematemesis and melena. Enlargement of the AVM was documented by serial abdominal CT scans performed after each bleed. Whipple procedure was successfully performed in this patient.
