Onphysical examination, thepatientwasjaundiced and had "café au lait" spots in the skin. A magnetic resonance imaging showed bile duct dilation and a possible ampullarcarcinoma. Thepatientwas operated, duringthe exploration shepresented a periampullary tumor and múltiple small nodular lesions in the stomach, the tumor was resected with a pancreático dúo denectomy and the nodular gastric lesions were biopsied.
