We report an anatomical variant in which an accessory hepatic artery supplying segment 6 arises from the dorsal pancreatic artery, identified during pre-transplant evaluation in a patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis. While a similar variant has been previously reported in a living liver donor, our case represents an independent confirmation in a different clinical context, with clear segmental correlation. Recognition of such rare hepatic arterial configurations is essential for safe planning in hepatobiliary surgery and interventional radiology.
