We report the case of a 70-year-old female with chronic anemia and intestinal pseudoobstruction from a large hamartomatous polyp of the ampulla of Vater. The patient had been operated by obstructive jaundice of possible biliary etiology and a cholecystojejunostomy was performed. Later, due to cholangytis of unknown etiology cholecystectomy and choledochoduodenostomy were done. The polyp was resected by surgery.
