Abstract
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.
