J. Koninger et al., JUXTAPAPILLARY, INTRADUODENAL LIPOMA AS A REASON FOR JAUNDICE AND ACUTE-PANCREATITIS, Zeitschrift fur Gastroenterologie, 32(3), 1994, pp. 157-159
A 52-year-old man was admitted to hospital with acute pancreatitis and
jaundice. The patient's medical history showed a case of hospitalizat
ion due to acute pancreatitis about three years before. Diagnostic exa
minations (abdomen sonography, CT, contrast medium radiography of the
small intestine, ERCP) revealed a juxtapapillary lipoma, approximately
1 by 6 cm, obstructing the papilla Vateri. After the examinations had
been completed and the pancreatitis had largely eased off, the lipoma
was removed by transduodenal surgery. There were no postoperative com
plications.
