Article Title: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with aneurysms of the gastroduodenal artery: A case report
Abstract: Gastroduodenal artery (GDA) aneurysm is a very rare condition. It is divided into false aneurysms (pseudoaneurysms) associated with pancreatitis and true aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk stenosis. We report a 24-year-old patient who was diagnosed with pancreatic head neuroendocrine tumor and was incidentally found to have multiple GDA aneurysms in the absence of celiac artery stenosis. The aneurysms were embolized because of the presumed high risk of bleeding. The procedure was successful with no recurrence on follow-up computed tomography scan. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
