Abstract
A pseudoaneurysm from the right hepatic artery was associated with chronic pancreatitis in an elderly patient with recurrent episodes of bleeding into the pancreas. Preoperative ultrasonography and enhanced computed tomographic scan revealed the nature of lesion but angiography was required to demonstrate the causative right hepatic artery, which was anomalous.
