title: A rare case of incidental pancreatic arteriovenous malformation correctly diagnosed with MDCT.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Pancreatic arteriovenous malformations are a rare entity that can be incidentally discovered during MDCT examinations.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe a rare case of asymptomatic arteriovenous malformation presenting at MDCT as a hypervascular mass in the pancreatic head.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pancreatic arteriovenous malformations are a rare entity, often asymptomatic, that can be correctly diagnosed by MDCT, especially with the use of specific electronic reconstructions.
