[Ampulloma of Vater's papilla--case report].
The authors discuss, based on a case-report, the diagnostic problems of malignities of the pancreas and ampulla of Vater. In the same patient they found an interesting complication after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCHE). It was a female patient who had LCHE four years previously where an ampulloma of the ampulla of Vater was diagnosed with invasion into the pancreas and a suspect secondary in the lower lobe of the right lung. On operation a pulmonary abscess was detected from a retained concrement. Duodenopancreatectomy which was performed did not reveal any tumour in the pancreatic area.
