A patient presenting with wirsungorragie was found to have a villous adenoma of the duct of Wirsung. The lesion was treated by a left pancreatectomy. Five years later he presented with recurrent wirsungorragie and was found to have a villous adenomatosis of the main pancreatic duct and of its side branches. This time a Whipple procedure was performed, achieving a total pancreatectomy. The patient has remained well for 12 months. This case of villous adenomatosis is, to our knowledge, the first one to be revealed by a wirsungorragie.
