Ampullary Adenocarcinoma Causing Small Intestinal Obstruction

Ampullary adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that arises from the ampullary complex, distal to the confluence of common bile duct and pancreatic duct. It is a rare tumor and pathologically differentiated into intestinal or pancreaticobiliary in origin. Management is surgical resection. We report a...

description Ampullary adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that arises from the ampullary complex, distal to the confluence of common bile duct and pancreatic duct. It is a rare tumor and pathologically differentiated into intestinal or pancreaticobiliary in origin. Management is surgical resection. We report a case of a 67-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation. Computed tomography scan showed a cystic mass compressing the duodenum and causing small intestinal obstruction. Pathologic evaluation was consistent with ampullary adenocarcinoma.
