• Abstract:

  Pyloric stenosis is a condition in which there is a narrowing of the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract in this region, leading to a picture of upper intestinal obstruction. Among its causes, neoplasms stand out, with adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas being one of them. The present study will report the case of a patient admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, who was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis from the results of abdominal tomography and upper digestive endoscopy. Subsequently, he underwent an exploratory laparotomy to elucidate the etiology and treat the obstruction. During the intraoperative period, a large lesion in the pancreatic head and in the retroperitoneum was observed, and material was removed for histopathological analysis. A latero-lateral gastro-jejunal gastroenteroanastomosis and a gastrostomy were also performed.
