Endoscopic ultrasound performed by surgical approach in a patient with pancreatic lesion and stenosing esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) performed in situations of altered anatomy has been described. Thus, in cases of Roux-en-Y gastric by-pass, several approaches have been documented for performing ERCP: by enteroscopy, guided by laparoscopic approach through the gastric remnant, and direct transgastric guided by endoscopic ultrasound through a stent between the reservoir or alimentary loop and the gastric remnant. However, there are clinical situations in which the anatomy is not altered, but there may be pancreatic lesions subsidiary to study by endoscopic ultrasound in situations where the endoscope cannot pass through the esophagus. Therefore, we present the clinical case of a patient with a pancreatic lesion subsidiary to study and a distal esophageal adenocarcinoma that prevented the passage of the endoscope.
