Background: We report endoscopic excision of a lymphangioma in an infrequent location, Vater's ampulla, with resolution of the obstructive jaundice caused by this tumor.
Methods: An endoscopic papillotomy was performed together with polypectomy of the tumoral mass.
Results: The patient evolved satisfactorily, with jaundice and biochemical cholestasis disappearing.
Conclusions: We believe endoscopic therapy is the ideal treatment for small lymphangiomas in the digestive tract.
