Abstract:
The authors present the case of a male patient, aged 68, admitted in our department for a upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The upper gastrointestinal series showed a large gastric villous adenoma located in the body of the stomach. Intraoperative, we found a gastric villous adenoma and multiple choledocholithiasis and gallbladder stones which evolved completely asymptomatic. We performed a mediogastric resection, Fredet pyloroplasty and laterolateral choledochoduodenostomy with a good postoperative result. This case is peculiar due to the concomitant occurrence of two rare diseases the gastric villous adenoma and the asymptomatic multiple choledocholithiasis.
