title: [Annular pancreas in adults: diagnostic considerations on a case].
abstract: Annular Pancreas (AP) is a rare congenital anomaly that usually presents in childhood with symptoms referable to duodenal obstruction; nonetheless, this condition can manifest in adulthood with abdominal pain, pancreatitis, duodenal ulcer, pancreatic head mass. The Authors hereby discuss a case of AP observed in a 63 year-old patient in which EUS played a decisive role in achieving a certain diagnosis.
