[Carcinoma of the Vater's ampulla: local exeresis or major resection?].
Ampullary carcinoma are uncommon and case reports are fragmentary and small in number. The varied histotypes, tumour grading and staging methods, together with the different risk factors involved and diverse operating procedures make comparison difficult. The paper makes a contribution towards the number of cases reported and discusses the problems arising from this pathology.
