Figure 1 Endoscopic aspect (A) and resected surgical specimen (B) of a small ampullary tumor.
Figure 2 Ampullary tumor, stage 1.
A: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed dilation of the common bile duct and Wirsung’s duct, without space-occupying lesions of the ampulla; B: Linear endoscopic ultrasound (L-EUS) of the same patient. Ampullary tumor, stage 2; C: MRI showed dilation of the common bile duct and normal appearance of Wirsung’s duct; D: L-EUS scan of the same patient, which showed duodenal wall disruption without pancreas invasion. CBD: Common bile duct; PAP: Papilla (Vater's papilla); PD: Pancreatic duct.
Figure 3 Ampullary tumor, low-grade dysplasia (A) and ampullary adenocarcinoma (B).
