Case report: prolapse of an ampullary tumour beyond the duodeno-jejunal flexure

Clin Radiol. 1993 Feb;47(2):141-2. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(05)81193-6.

Abstract

We report unusual barium, computed tomographic (CT) and ultrasound appearances of a polypoid ampullary tumour which prolapsed beyond the duodeno-jejunal (DJ) flexure. The extensive mucosal prolapse gave rise to radiological signs suggestive of an intussusception.
