[Carcinoid tumor of the Vater's ampulla].
We report a patient with biliary obstruction of two years evolution. Blood chemistry evaluation was compatible with obstructive jaundice. Endoscopy and CT were suggestive of ampullary tumor. At laparotomy, the biopsy specimen was diagnosed as carcinoid tumor, and was treated by a Whipple's procedure.
