Abstract
A case of visceral neurofibromatosis presenting as obstructive jaundice is described. Laparotomy revealed an ampullary tumour which was presumed to be malignant. A palliative cholecystojejunostomy was performed but death occurred 10 days postoperatively as a result of obstructive jaundice. At necropsy the ampullary tumour was found to be a benign neurofibroma.Keywords
