A Complex Diagnosis of Ampullary Adenocarcinoma Presenting As Decompensated Cirrhosis.

Abstract

Neoplasms arising from the ampulla of Vater are exceedingly rare, and there is a paucity of literature regarding their diagnosis and management. Ampullary cancer typically presents with jaundice and signs of biliary obstruction. We present a case of ampullary adenocarcinoma with concomitant choledocholithiasis that proved complex and diagnostically challenging.
