title: [Combined periampullary adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor in type 1 neurofibromatosis: report of one case].
abstract: Neurofibromatosis is a hereditary autosomal-dominant disease with high rates of de novo mutations, and carries a high risk of neoplasms. It affects both sexes and all races and ethnic groups. It is characterized by multiple cutaneous lesions and tumors, both benign and malignant, especially in the nervous system. We report a 52-year-old woman with a type 1 neurofibromatosis, presenting with fever, jaundice and weight loss. On physical examination, the patient was jaundiced and had "café au lait" spots in the skin. A magnetic resonance imaging showed bile duct dilation and a possible ampullar carcinoma. The patient was operated, during the exploration she presented a periampullary tumor and multiple small nodular lesions in the stomach, the tumor was resected with a pancreaticoduodenectomy and the nodular gastric lesions were biopsied. The pathological study revealed a combined adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine duodenal tumor. The study of the stomach lesions revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Four months after surgery, the patient is in good condition.
