Lemmel syndrome is defined as obstructive jaundice caused by a periampullary duodenal diverticulum compressing the intrapancreatic common bile duct with resultant bile duct dilatation.

Clinical presentation

Patients may present with recurrent episodes of jaundice, pancreatitis and/or cholangitis.

Pathology

Duodenal diverticulum of the second part of duodenum compressing the intrapancreatic part of the common bile duct (CBD) with resultant upstream dilatation of the extra- and intrahepatic bile ducts.
