Abstract

A 54 year old female was operated on for ampullary carcinoma diagnosed by retrograde cholangiography. Histologic study of the gallbladder resected at operation revealed another carcinoma at that location. Pancreato-duodenectomy plus a double segmental resection of liver was performed. The patient remains in good condition 11 months after operation.
