J Clin Gastroenterol. 2007 Aug;41(7):661-6. doi: 10.1097/01.mcg.0000225651.00308.79.

Abstract

The safety and effectiveness of endoscopic management of ampullary adenomas is well known. However, data on the endoscopic treatment and long-term outcome of nonadenomatous ampullary neoplasms are lacking. We describe our experience with the endoscopic management and the follow-up of 4 patients with nonadenomatous ampullary neoplasms viz, ampullary carcinoid, gangliocytic paraganglioma, ampullary hamartoma in patients with Peutz-Jegher syndrome and Cowdens syndrome.
