Abstract

A 51-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. He was subsequently diagnosed with cholestatic jaundice and cholangitis. A side-viewing duodenoscope failed to identify the ampulla of Vater in the second portion of duodenum. A regular gastroscope was used, and an ectopic ampulla of Vater was identified in the pyloric channel.
