large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma%ampulla of Vater%Whipple's procedure%periampullary growth
BACKGROUND: Neuroendocrine tumors of the ampulla of Vater are extremely rare, and few cases of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the ampulla have been reported. <br> METHODS:A 48-year-old male with obstructive jaundice was admitted to our hospital. On examination the patient was found to have a periampullary growth and subsequently underwent the Whipple's procedure. <br> RESULTS: Histopathological examination and immuno-histochemistry revealed features of LCNEC of the ampulla of Vater. The patient developed multiple liver metastases 6 months after Whipple's procedure. <br> CONCLUSION:LCNEC of the ampulla of Vater is rare and highly aggressive, with a dismal prognosis.
