Abstract:
An intraduodenal diverticulum in 54 year old woman which caused alcalculous cholecystitis and pancreatitis is described. The diverticulum was missed at the first operation, performed for acute cholecystitis. Before the second it was interpreted as a pancreatic cyst. At the second intervention, the cyst wall was excised through a duodenotomy. Histological examination of the wall of the diverticulum is crucial for correct diagnosis.
