A 68-year-old Japanese man, without any symptoms, was found to have a carcinoid tumor of the
Ampulla of Vater
. A physical examination indicated no
anemia
or jaundice and no abnormal findings at all in the chest or abdomen. Except for glucose intolerance, the routine laboratory data were normal. An endoscopic biopsy was performed that suggested malignant tumor cells. There were no signs of carcinoid syndrome. A pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy with extensive lymph node dissection was performed. Histological and immunohistochemical studies resulted in the diagnosis of a carcinoid of the papilla of Vater, without regional lymph node metastases. Although postoperative, an anastomotic leakage of pancreaticogastrostomy was noted; the pancreatic fistula was closed seven weeks later to use the somatostatin analogue.
