ABSTRACT
A 55-year-old female patient with a history of ethyl and nicotine abuse presented with chronic diarrhoea, significant weight loss and abnormal liver tests. Ultrasound examination revealed dilatation of the bile ducts and computed tomography scan with IV contrast further established simultaneous dilatation of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct (double duct sign). The dilatation abruptly stopped at the level of the pancreatic head which demonstrated a small irregular hypovascular zone (1.2 cm), suspected for malignancy. The following week, a radical pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Anatomopathological analysis revealed an adenomyoma (12 mm) located distal to the common bile duct, without arguments for malignancy.
