    Author: Artaza T, Potenciano JM, Legaz M, Muñoz C, Talavera A, Sánchez E.
    Journal: Scand J Gastroenterol; 1995 Aug; 30(8):804-6. PubMed ID: 7481550.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: We report endoscopic excision of a lymphangioma in an infrequent location, Vater's ampulla, with resolution of the obstructive jaundice caused by this tumor. METHODS: An endoscopic papillotomy was performed together with polypectomy of the tumoral mass. RESULTS: The patient evolved satisfactorily, with jaundice and biochemical cholestasis disappearing. CONCLUSIONS: We believe endoscopic therapy is the ideal treatment for small lymphangiomas in the digestive tract.
