Abstract
Pancreatic hemangioma is an extremely rare tumor, with only a very few cases reported in the literature. We present the case of a 36-year-old man admitted to the hospital with jaundice and abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced CT showed a hypervascular mass with large vessels in the pancreatic head. The mass appeared moderately hypervascular on gadolinium-enhanced MRI, and, on mangafodipir-enhanced MRI, no contrast agent uptake into the mass could be detected. Despite the size of the lesion, no dilatation of the pancreatic and the common bile duct were seen. Pancreatic hemangioma should be included in the list of differential diagnoses in case of a hypervascular pancreatic lesion without signs of mass effect.
