title: Pancreatic pseudocyst haemorrhage presenting as a bleeding duodenal ulcer.
abstract: We present a case of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage where the preoperative endoscopic findings suggested a duodenal ulcer as the cause. Although at operation this proved to be the site of bleeding, the source was found to be the splenic artery in the base of a pancreatic pseudocyst.
