Ampullary neuroendocrine tumors (ANEts) are rare tumors which show characteristic ct features. We present a case of a 42-year-old female, in which the ct features of an ampullary tumor were atypical for a neuroendocrine tumor but was confirmed on histopathology and immunohistochemistry as an NEt. the uniqueness of our case was that the lesion showed mild enhancement in the arterial phase which was persistent in the venous phase with wash out in the delayed phase

“…However, recently this terminology has been abandoned and now the term carcinoid is reserved for only low-grade, well differentiated, neuroendocrine tumors. ANET are extremely rare and account for less then 1% of all gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors and less than 2% of all tumors of the ampullary region [3] [6]. Carcinoids involving the ampulla of Vater can be derived from cell types of the duodenum, common bile duct or the pancreas.…”

Ampullary Neuroendocrine tumor (ANET) is a rare GI malignancy, representing less than 1% of GI neuroendocrine tumors and less than 2% of ampullary tumors. Traditional treatment is often a pancreaticoduodenectomy; however, local and endoscopic resections have been successful. We report a rare case of ANET in a 21-year-old Burmese man who presented with a 6-year history of non-specific intermittent abdominal pain who was successfully managed through transduodenal ampullectomy. At 24 months postoperatively he remains disease and symptom free. ANET is a rare cause of recurrent abdominal pain, and local excision of small ANETs can be an alternative, less morbid treatment for young patients. We follow the case with a brief review of the literature.
