A Rare Case of Ampullary Goblet Cell Carcinoid. Intern Med. 2018 Mar 30;: Authors: Shibuya H, Hijioka S, Mizuno N, Kuwahara T, Okuno N, Tanaka T, Ishihara M, Hirayama Y, Oonishi S, Murakami Y, Yatabe Y, Tajika M, Niwa Y, Hara K Abstract An asymptomatic 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of liver enzyme elevation. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a small, round-shaped tumor with dilation of the common bile duct (CBD) and main pancreatic duct (MPD). A biopsy specimen from the papilla showed mucin-containing cells that were positive for endocrine markers on immunohistochemical staining. Endoscopic snare resection was done, and there was a positive vertical margin on pathology. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was then performed later. The final diagnosis was goblet cell carcinoid, pT2N0M0, pStage IIA (UICC 7th edition). Ampullary goblet cell carcinoid is an extremely rare disease of which there have been no recent reports.
