Abstract:
Most duodenal diverticula are asymptomatic, but they may create diagnostic difficulties. We report a case of obstructive jaundice in which ultrasound revealed a mass in the region of the head of the pancreas produced by a diverticulum in the second part of the duodenum which was initially misdiagnosed as a carcinoma of the pancreas.
