ABSTRACT
Case report. A case of obstructive jaundice due to a preoperative unrecognized rare periampullary tumor, histologically demonstrated to be a gangliocytic paraganglioma of duodenum associated with Von Recklinghausen's disease, is herein reported. Intraoperative ultrasonography guided identification and evaluation of the obstructing lesion, suggesting in Whipple's procedure the most suitable treatment. The clinical case and ultrasonographic and Color Doppler findings are in detail described.
