title: Diagnosis of peripapillary carcinoma: endoscopic findings.
abstract: During the period 1982-1988, 8 patients were admitted with peripapillary carcinoma. Pancreatico-duodenectomy (PD) was successfully carried out on 7 occasions but only 3 patients are alive today. Early diagnosis of this disease is therefore mandatory. Endoscopic sphincterotomy is particularly useful for the diagnosis of the non-exposed type of carcinoma in the peripapillary region.
