Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) in obstructive jaundice caused by metstatic testicular teratoma.
A 28-years-old patient with a palpable mass of two fist's size in the upper abdomen rapidly developed an obstructive jaundice. A pancreatic tumor was suspected and therefore ERCP was carried out. Unusual alterations caused by metastatic lesions of a post mortem diagnosed testicular teratoma narrowing and invading the common bile duct and displacing the main pancreatic duct were visualized.
