| description | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma is an extremely rare tumor and few cases have been reported to date.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>The authors report a case of gangliocytic paraganglioma verified by post-op pathology after pancreaticoduodenectomy for a tumor in the ampulla of Vater. 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. However post-op, he was diagnosed as having gangliocytic paraganglioma by immunohistochemistry.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>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.</p> |
