A patient with a traumatic pancreatic lesion, confined to the Wirsung duct, is presented. At first laparotomy, the diagnosis was missed. Posttraumatic acute pancreatitis led to endoscopic pancreatography, disclosing the exact localization of the lesion. Left pancreatectomy led to rapid recovery. A late postoperative pancreatic fistula healed without problems.
