Transduodenal resection of periampullary neuroendocrine tumor: A case report
Annals of Medicine and Surgery(2022)
Abstract
•Ampullary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare in compare to duodenal NETs, as they are highly metastatic and aggressive regardless of the size.•These tumors present a diagnostic challenge in addition to being a topic of contention regarding surgical resection options.•The controversy resides in main surgical options; the first being a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and the second is a transduodenal local resection.•Certain conditions must be met to achieve a satisfactory outcome for transduodenal local resection in case of periampullary NETs.•For patients who have met the criteria, transduodenal local resection is believed to be a less invasive, safe, and useful alternative for PD.
