Core Tip Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the ampulla of Vater is a rare and aggressive malignancy that may present as a small lesion but requires oncologically intensive management. This striking discordance between tumour size, anatomical location, and biological behaviour underpins the size-biology paradox observed in ampullary LCNEC and highlights the importance of accurate histopathological classification and multidisciplinary oncological management.
