A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of anorexia and jaundice. Abdominal CT and MRCP taken after admission revealed tumor in the pancreatic head. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed bleeding from the orifice of the major papilla. In angiography, an irregular image was found in the branch of the gastroduodenal artery, and a coil embolization surgery was performed mainly on the same part. We diagnosed pancreatic cancer and pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Pancreatic cancer with bleeding from the orifice of major papilla is very rare. We describe our case with known reports.
