The etiology of adenoma of the ampulla of Vater is not well understood. Previous authors reported the association of this neoplasm with polycystic kidney disease of two fraternal sisters. They concluded that these two conditions were somehow related. We describe a case of ampullary adenoma associated with polycystic kidney disease. This presentation raises again the question of a possible link between these two diseases.
壶腹腺瘤的病因尚不清楚。先前的作者报道了两姐妹的这种肿瘤与多囊肾病有关。他们得出结论,这两种情况在某种程度上是相关的。我们描述了一例与多囊肾病相关的壶腹腺瘤病例。这种情况再次引发了这两种疾病之间可能存在联系的问题。
