RESUMO

The authors report a case of adenomyoma of papilla of Vater in a young adult, a rare pathology in this age and site. The commonest clinical findings are abdominal pain, dyspepsia and jaundice, as in this case in which the patient referred these symptoms for several months. The diagnosis is usually difficult before surgery, because the radiological and endoscopic appearances are difficult to interpret, since they may only show obstruction and enlargement of the biliary tract; in this way, the endoscopic biopsy may be useful. In the present case the computed tomography, abdominal scan and intraoperative cholangiography only demonstrated obstruction and enlargement of the biliary tract, without the presence of gallstones. The treatment is usually lesion resection according to its size, performing the total resection in those cases of extensive involvement of the digestive tract, as it was performed in this case, due to the dimension of the lesion and its malignant appearance. The patient was discharged from hospital on the thirteenth postoperative day, with a histological diagnosis of adenomyoma of papilla of Vater. Three months after the procedure the patient was asymptomatic.
