Core Tip |
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) usually develops in the stomach and small intestine, and GIST of the ampulla of Vater is extremely rare, with only 11 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of GIST of the ampulla of Vater in a 36-year-old, previously healthy man who presented with a brief loss of consciousness. A gastroduodenal endoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor with central ulceration at the ampulla of Vater. Biopsies were collected from the ulcerative lesion, and the tumor was diagnosed as a GIST. The patient underwent pancreatoduodenectomy. The operative specimen revealed a 2.2-cm GIST with 1 mitosis per 50 high-power fields. |
