The presence of hepatic arterial variations is particularly important for patients undergoing cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy, because it can lead to unnecessary incidents or postoperative complications. We present the case of a patient with pancreatic head neoplasm in which the cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed and the origin of common hepatic artery from superior mesenteric artery, with an anterior, prepancreatic course.
