Somatostatinoma of the Ampulla: An Incidental Postoperative Finding Following Colorectal Cancer Resection

Somatostatinoma of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare finding, especially arising from the ampulla of Vater. We present a man recently diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma who was found on imaging to have an ampullary mass. Histology and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsied tissue were con...

description Somatostatinoma of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare finding, especially arising from the ampulla of Vater. We present a man recently diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma who was found on imaging to have an ampullary mass. Histology and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsied tissue were consistent with a nonfunctioning somatostatinoma. The patient had neurofibromatosis, which have been reported in patients with ampullary somatostatinomas. Our case highlights the importance of gastrointestinal findings in those with underlying genetic conditions.
