TODO - Carcinoid tumours of the common bile duct represent an extremely rare
entity. Similarly, primary follicular lymphomas of the ampulla of Vater
constitute an infrequent neoplasia. Herein, we report the first case of
a synchronous development of a carcinoid tumour of the common bile duct
and an ampullary follicular lymphoma that was treated surgically with a
Whipple’s procedure, due to inability to establish definitive
preoperative diagnosis despite the extensive diagnostic investigation.
