Ampullary adenomas can occur sporadically or in the patients with adenomatous polyposis syndrome, including familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and
MUTYH
-associated polyposis. The potential for malignant transformation is high in the setting of FAP. Although endoscopic resection of major papillary adenoma has been well described, minor papilla adenomas are exceptionally rare. This is the second documented case of an endoscopic papillectomy in a patient with FAP with simultaneous ampullary adenoma of the major and minor papilla.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
