title: [Signet ring cell carcinoma of Vater's papilla: a very rare malignancy].
abstract: We describe a rare variant of carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. A 70-year-old man with several illnesses and a newly appeared jaundice was investigated and a signet-ring cell carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater diagnosed. We performed a local transduodenal excision. One year after operation the patient is asymptomatic. This is the second case report in the literature.
