Endoscopic Ultrasound in Guiding Local Resection and Ampullary Preservation of a High-Risk Periampullary GIST
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) typically develop in the stomach or small intestine and rarely involve the ampulla of Vater, with only 13 cases reported in the world literature since 2004. Most authors advocate performing pancreaticoduodenectomy for such lesions. However, this operation can...

| Summary: | Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) typically develop in the stomach or small intestine and rarely involve the ampulla of Vater, with only 13 cases reported in the world literature since 2004. Most authors advocate performing pancreaticoduodenectomy for such lesions. However, this operation can carry higher rates of morbidity and mortality compared to local resection. We present a case of a high-risk, invasive periampullary GIST and the multidisciplinary management approach to local resection with the aid of endoscopic ultrasound. In addition, this case shows no local recurrence at 3 months and a favorable clinical outcome at 1 year. |
