[Current diagnostic-therapeutic trends in carcinoids of the papilla of Vater].
Diagnosis and treatment of carcinoid tumor of the ampulla of Vater: case report. The carcinoid tumour of the ampulla of Vater is extremely rare. The authors report one case. Therefore, they dwell upon the problem connected with classifications, symptomatology and diagnosis of these neoplasms which present difficulty to diagnose preoperatively. At last, they reaffirm the primary role of pancreaticoduodenectomy with lymphadenectomy and, if it is possible, the necessity to extirpate the liver metastases.
