  On admission, the patient was markedly affected by jaundice, with no relevant findings in the abdominal examination. [karger.com]

  Most patients with ampullary cancer present with jaundice. The tumor obstructs the flow of pancreatic and biliary juices into the intestine. This results in the development of a type of jaundice called obstructive jaundice. [medindia.net]

  Jaundice results when the drainage of bile into the duodenum is blocked causing it to accumulate in in the bloodstream. Jaundice, the yellowing of the skin, is typically one of the first symptoms present with Ampullary cancer. [surgery.ucsf.edu]

  This can cause obstructive jaundice because the bile secretions mingle with the blood stream instead of passing into the intestine. Ampullary cancer is relatively very rare. [thegastrosurgeon.com]
