โฆ Synopsis
A 57-year-old woman was investigated for obstructive jaundice with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography that showed a tumor at the ampulla of Vater. A Whipple's procedure was performed. A protuberant tumor was present at the ampulla of Vater in the background of multiple mucosal polyps in the duodenum. Light microscopy revealed a diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with centrocytelike cells forming lymphoepithelial lesions and infiltrating the sphincter of Oddi. The duodenal polyps were hyperplastic lymphoid follicles with reactive germinal centers. Immunohistochemical staining characterized the tumor as a B-cell neoplasm with IgA heavy-chain and lambda light-chain restrictions. Complete remission of the disease occurred after surgery. The clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical features of this lymphoma are suggestive of histogenetic derivation from mucosal-associated tissue. Cancer 1994; 73:2083-6.

Background. Carcinoid of the ampulla of Vater is a rare lesion that may produce obstructive jaundice. Analysis of nodal involvement as a function of primary tumor sizes indicated that metastases occur with tumors smaller than 2.0 cm. The case of a 36-year-old woman is presented and the literature re
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of radical lymphadenectomy in ampullary cancer with nodal disease. Thirty-five patients underwent the Whipple procedure with radical lymphadenectomy. The location and number of positive nodes was characterized. Eighteen patients (51%) had posit
