Abstract
A 60-year-old man was found to have a tumor in the accessory papilla of the duodenum by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The tumor was 10mm in size and pathological examination revealed that it was a neuroendocrine tumor. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) showed complete pancreas divisum. Computed tomography revealed that there was no distant metastasis. Therefore, pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. The resected specimen showed that the neuroendocrine tumor was 5mm in size and invaded the submucosal layer, but there was no lymph node metastasis.
Neuroendocrine tumor in the accessory papilla is rare, but it is frequently associated with pancreas divisum.
