Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare condition where bleeding occurs through the pancreatic duct, usually due to a pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery. We describe a patient with spontaneous rupture of the splenic artery that caused hemosuccus pancreaticus and later massive hemoperitoneum. The pathological process had lasted at least 10 days before the diagnosis was established. The patient underwent an emergency operation during which splenectomy and distal pancreatectomy were successfully performed.
