ABSTRACT

Imaging studies allow a global assessment of the abdominal cavity. Intra-abdominal vascular malformations are rare entities, most of which are asymptomatic. The use of diagnostic imaging technique in the detection of an asymptomatic arterio-venous malformation of the pancreas in a patient with other symptoms is exposed. 31-year-old Kenyan patient who came to the emergency department at the Cuban Hospital in Qatar with pain in the lower abdomen and right iliac fossa (RIF), peritoneal reaction, negative leukogram and elevated C-reactive protein. Gynecological, gastrointestinal and urinary pathologies were ruled out. An ultrasound and later CT abdominal-pelvic with intravenous contrast (IV) were indicated, which demonstrated subserous uterine myoma and hyper-vascularized tumor image in the uncinate process of pancreas, compatible with arterio-venous malformation. She was referred to the specialties of gynecology, surgery and gastroenterology. We suggest always keeping in mind rare diseases during common pathologies. Publish images of rare pathologies, offers a comparison pattern for future diagnoses.
