A 38-year-old man with a history of recurrent pancreatitis of undetermined origin was re-admitted with vomiting and epigastric pain. A decision was made to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. At the laparoscopy, pancreatic tissue completely wrapped around the duodenum was found. A gastrojejunostomy was performed to treat the gastric outlet obstruction caused by the obstructive annular pancreas.
