| Abstract: | Primary small cell carcinoma of the periampullary region is rare. Only four patients have been reported previously. The authors examined a patient with ampullary small cell carcinoma using a range of immunocytochemical stains. This tumor shows morphologic and neuroendocrine features similar to its pulmonary and extrapulmonary counterparts. |
