The histology of all tumors was examined by experienced pathologists with no prior knowledge of the clinical or pathological outcomes. Positive and negative controls were produced for all of the antibodies tested. [spandidos-publications.com]
The resection margin was evaluated by a pathologist. R0 resection indicated that the resection margins of the pancreas, common bile duct, duodenum, and retropancreatic tissue were histologically free of carcinoma. [frontiersin.org]

On admission, the patient was markedly affected by jaundice, with no relevant findings in the abdominal examination. [karger.com]
Most patients with ampullary cancer present with jaundice. The tumor obstructs the flow of pancreatic and biliary juices into the intestine. This results in the development of a type of jaundice called obstructive jaundice. [medindia.net]
Jaundice results when the drainage of bile into the duodenum is blocked causing it to accumulate in in the bloodstream. Jaundice, the yellowing of the skin, is typically one of the first symptoms present with Ampullary cancer. [surgery.ucsf.edu]
This can cause obstructive jaundice because the bile secretions mingle with the blood stream instead of passing into the intestine. Ampullary cancer is relatively very rare. [thegastrosurgeon.com]

The clinical presentations, histopathogenesis, epidemiology, forms of diagnosis and treatment are not well described in the literature, only a few cases have been reported, therefore, there is no standardized or officially recommended treatment. [peertechzpublications.com]
Prognosis
SRCC of the ampulla of Vater has a poor prognosis, worse than that of other ampullary adenocarcinomas and comparable to pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with older age and later stage portending a worse prognosis. [hpbonline.org]
Careful clinicopathologic staging is important for the prognosis after resection. Copyright Copyright © 1998 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. [hindawi.com]
As for prognosis, Hara et al (12) showed that SRC localized in the ampulla of Vater has a poor prognosis and lymph node involvement is also regarded as a key prognostic factor. [spandidos-publications.com]
We have summarized these reports, including the clinical course and final prognosis of ASC of the AmV, in Table 2[1–4]. ASC of the AmV is a virulent disease with a worse prognosis than that of adenocarcinoma. [wjso.biomedcentral.com]
Etiology
A better understanding of the molecular differences across these malignancies can lead to more precise diagnosis and effective treatment, as well as provide clues as to etiology. [dceg.cancer.gov]

In this theory, signet-ring cell carcinoma originates from periampullary duodenal heterotopias of an ulcerative etiology and expands to the ampulla of Vater. [file.scirp.org]
Besides, tumor etiology is unclear, but several hypotheses have been offered to explain the histogenesis of ASC. [dovepress.com]
Epidemiology
Methods We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program to collect all cases of ampullary adenocarcinoma diagnosed between 2010 and 2015. [hpbonline.org]
