Tumors of the papilla of Vater are very rare. Despite advanced imaging techniques the distinction between benign and malignant tumors remains very difficult. Because most ampullary and periampullary tumors are malignant, primary management is surgical. Here we report the case of a 65-year-old man with biliary obstruction caused by an ampullary hamartoma simulating cancer. The correct diagnosis was not established until surgery.
Vater壶腹肿瘤非常罕见。尽管有先进的成像技术，但区分良性和恶性肿瘤仍然非常困难。由于大多数壶腹和壶腹周围肿瘤是恶性的，主要治疗方法是手术。在此，我们报告一例65岁男性，其因壶腹错构瘤模拟癌症导致胆道梗阻。直到手术时才做出正确诊断。
