Neoplasms arising from the ampulla of Vater are exceedingly rare, and there is a paucity of literature regarding their diagnosis and management. Ampullary cancer typically presents with jaundice and signs of biliary obstruction. We present a case of ampullary adenocarcinoma with concomitant choledocholithiasis that proved complex and diagnostically challenging.

Neoplastic premalignant pancreatobiliary lesions: current update on the spectrum of lesions and their imaging appearances.

Common pancreatobiliary epithelial malignancies such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma have poor prognosis. A small but significant portion of these malignancies arise from mass-forming grossly and radiologically visible premalignant epithelial neoplasms in the pancreatobiliary tree. Several lesions, including a few recently described entities, fall under this category and predominantly include papillary epithelial lesions with or without mucin production.

The presence of high tumor budding in colorectal carcinomas is a significant pathological feature indicative of a high potential for lymph node metastasis. Our aim was to investigate the prognostic impact of tumor budding in ampullary carcinomas. We conducted a cohort of 101 consecutive ampullary carcinoma resections to evaluate tumor budding, macroscopic and microscopic subtypes, lymphatic/vascular/perineural invasions, and other histopathological parameters.

Background: Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AAC) typically presents at an early stage due to biliary obstruction and therefore might be specifically suitable for minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD). However, studies assessing MIPD specifically for AAC, including the robotic and laparoscopic approach, are limited. The aim of this study is to compare short- and long-term oncological resection and perioperative outcomes of robotic (RPD), laparoscopic (LPD) and open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) performed specifically for AAC.

Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AMPAC) is a rare and heterogeneous malignancy. Here we performed a comprehensive proteogenomic analysis of 198 samples from Chinese AMPAC patients and duodenum patients. Genomic data illustrate that 4q loss causes fatty acid accumulation and cell proliferation.
