title: Annular pancreas: Culprit or innocent bystander?
abstract: Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly that has been often implicated in duodenal and biliary obstructions. However, the true incidence of such presentation is very low. We present a case of a 57-year-old female with mixed hepatocellular and obstructive jaundice where annular pancreas was an innocent bystander.
