title: [Endoscopic cytology in the diagnosis of carcinoma of Vater's ampulla].
abstract: An endoscopic cytology procedure was performed in 25 patients with a final diagnosis of carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. A diagnosis of malignancy was made cytologically in 22 instances, and in 9 patients cytology was the only positive finding before operation. In two cases endoscopic biopsy was positive while the cytologic examination did not confirm the histological diagnosis.
