Abstract

BACKGROUND:

An 18-year-old Turkish woman was referred with a 6-week history of rapidly enlarging cervical mass at the left side.

CASE REPORT:

She was diagnosed of ampullary carcinoma for which pancreatoduodenectomy was performed 14 months ago. In our patient with a history of malignancy, a rapidly enlarging neck mass was considered a metastasis to the neck. Tumor resection was performed. Histopathological examination revealed the metastasis of the precedent ampullary adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSION:

Surgery does not improve survival for advanced metastatic ampullary cancer however, it can be mandatory in specific conditions as our patient.
