Abstract
RATIONALE
Gangliocytic paraganglioma is a rare tumor that can occur in several organs throughout the body. Gangliocytic paraganglioma of the main duodenal papilla is even rarer. This study analyzes and discusses the endoscopic management of a case of gangliocytic paraganglioma of the main duodenal papilla and reviews the relevant literature. It is hoped that this study will increase clinicians' awareness of this disease.
PATIENT CONCERNS
Electron endoscopy reveals a duodenal main papillary tumor, and the patient desires further clarification of the nature of the tumor and the next step in the treatment plan.
DIAGNOSES
Duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma.
INTERVENTIONS
As the patient lesion was located in the main duodenal papilla, we successfully performed endoscopic minimally invasive treatment of the tumor by endoscopic papillectomy combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
OUTCOMES
The patient was discharged after the postoperative removal of the nasobiliary drain and returned to the hospital 2 months later to have the biliary stent removed; the patient was in good general condition at follow-up.
LESSONS
For duodenal main papillary tumor, we need to be alert to the possibility of gangliocytic paraganglioma. Since the tumor is located in the submucosa of the juxta-abdominal region, the preoperative biopsy positivity rate is low, and the tumor is often adjacent to or involves the biliopancreatic duct, endoscopic resection combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can be considered for diagnosis and treatment.
