CABRERA LAVERNIA, Jorge Omar  y  RICARDO SERRANO, Yoel Mario. A Patient with Recurrent Jaundice as Presentation of an Adenoma of Duodenal Papilla. ccm [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.4, pp. 766-775. ISSN 1560-4381.

Duodenal tumors are less frequently than those of stomach and colon. The habitual ones are carcinomas, lymphomas and malignant or bening stromal tumors, duodenal polyps are usually asymptomatic.  The haemorraghe is the most frequent sign. The great size lesions can show a suboclussive presentation and the periampullary ones can produce.  A 68-year-old female patient to whom cholecystectomy was performed was presented in this article.  The patient was admitted due to recurrent jaundice, episodes of dark urine, acholia, generalized pruritus, weight loss and epigastric pain. Ultrasonography of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas was performed in which bile duct dilatation was evident, duodenum was also explored and a lesion was observed. Biopsy was done and an adenoma of duodenal papilla was diagnosed. Surgical ampulectomy was performed without adenocarcinoma findings in the surgical biopsy, the jaundice disappeared and none postsurgical complication was observed.

Palabras clave : adenoma; duodenal papilla; jaundice; ampullectomy.
