The ampulla of Vater is an opening at the confluence of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. It is located in the second portion of the duodenum. An ectopic papilla of Vater is an anomalous termination. Few cases have been reported. We report the rare case of a man with an ectopic ampulla of Vater in the pylorus.
