Abstract:
Carcinoid tumours are slow growing tumours, derived from enterochromaffin cells located in the crypts of Lieberkühn,which is part of neuroendocrine system. A 36- year-old female patient presented in surgical clinic with complaints of progressively increasing yellowish discolouration of her eyes and pruritis for 6 months. She was deeply jaundiced with a soft and non-tender abdomen. Diagnostic work-up revealed obstructive jaundice secondary to ampullary growth, while computed tomography revealed a small intraluminal lower common bile duct mass. Endoscopic ultrasound showed thickened duodenum at ampulla of Vater. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple`s procedure) with pancreaticojejunostomy, hepaticojejunostomy and gastrojejunostomy was done. Pathological examination of the resected specimen revealed carcinoid tumour. Postoperative course of patient was unremarkable and she is doing well after surgery.
