Furthermore, the local resection of ampullary NETs is technically difficult and presents significant morbidity [ 28 , 29 ].[pancreas.imedpub.com]
Most patients with an ectopic pancreas are asymptomatic, and, if present, symptoms are nonspecific and depend on the site of the lesion and the different complications encountered.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Flat intraepithelial neoplasia presents as a flat or superficial, spreading, mucosal lesion that is frequently accompanied by an invasive carcinoma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The data included age, sex, presenting symptoms, preoperative imaging, preoperative type of biopsy results, type of operation, pathologic findings and survival status. RESULTS: The patient's mean age was 55.2 9.7 years.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient progressed uneventfully and, after seven years following the operation, he is asymptomatic with a normal serum chromogranin A level. Figure 1: Photomicrograph of a neuroendocrine tumor of the ampulla of Vater.[pancreas.imedpub.com]
There are a plethora of terminologies that describe precursor lesions of the pancreatobiliary tract, ampulla of Vater, and gallbladder. The current terminologies for precursor lesions may make it difficult to understand the tumor biology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The 56-year-old male patient concerned visited our emergency room with melena that started one week prior to hospitalization. The patient was diagnosed to have a tumor in the ampulla of Vater with bleeding on its surface.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The silver colored stool is a combination of the white stool of obstructive jaundice combined with black stool of melena or bleeding. It was first described in the British Medical Journal by Dr. H.[en.wikipedia.org]

CONCLUSION: This tumor has precise clinical implications, and if continuous follow up is conducted after careful diagnosis and surgical treatment, invasive major operations, such as, radical pancreaticoduodenectomy can be avoided.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis In general, ampullary tumors tend to show a better prognosis than do their biliary or periampullary counterparts as they can be detected at an earlier stage owing to earlier presentation due to biliary obstruction 3 .[radiopaedia.org]
On the other hand, undifferentiated carcinoma of the common bile duct grew in a polypoid pattern and could be discovered in an early stage, leading to favorable prognosis [ 3 ].[surgicalcasereports.springeropen.com]
