    Abstract:
    A 63-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of brown urine. A physical examination showed jaundice of the skin and conjunctiva bulbar. Blood tests showed elevated serum levels of bilirubin and hepatobiliary enzymes. A type 2-like mass lesion was found near the papilla of Vater during the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and was histologically proven to be a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. A diagnosis of obstructive jaundice due to primary duodenal cancer arising near the papilla of Vater was made. After the jaundice was decreased by endoscopic biliary stenting, a pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. A histopathological examination of the resected specimen concerning the location and manner of invasion of cancer cells revealed that the cancer arose from the duodenal mucosa near the papilla of Vater.
