내시경 유두절제술로 치료한 십이지장 주유두부의 신경내분비종양 1예

Abstract

Ampullary neuroendocrine tumor is rare but requires total resection for treatment. Traditionally, pancreatic duodenal resection has been recommended for treatment of ampullary neuroendocrine tumor. Because of the morbidity and mortality associated with surgical resection, endoscopic papillectomy is increasingly used in selected cases with low grade, no metastasis, and no invasion of the pancreatic or bile duct. We present a case of an ampullary neuroendocrine tumor which was successfully and completely resected via endoscopic papillectomy. Endoscopic papillectomy can be a viable alternative for the resection of neuroendocrine tumor at the major duodenal papilla in cases with high surgical risks.
