Abstract

Two cases of early carcinoma in the periampullary region detected microscopically are reported. In Case 1, the carcinoma was found in part of an adenomatous polyp resected transduodenally. In Case 2, carcinoma was located within 1 cm from the main pancreatic duct hidden in the surrounding inflammatory tissue of the pancreatic head excised by radical pancreatoduodenectomy. Case 1 survived more than 3 years after the operation and Case 2 more than 5 years without any evidence of recurrence. The practical significance of such early carcinoma is discussed.
