Authors: Arturo Torices Dardon, MD, Pierre F Saldinger, MD, FACS and Anthony Dakwar, MD

DDI is very unusual due to the fixed position of the duodenum within the retroperitoneum. In this case, the presence of an ampullary mass caused DDI with sub mucosal elongation of the common bile duct and obstructive jaundice in a patient with pancreas divisum.
