Abstract
Although 5-year survival after radical resection for ampullary carcinoma has traditionally been regarded as a cure, recent reports have documented late recurrences from these tumors. This case report describes an anastomotic recurrence developing more than 5 years after a curative resection for ampullary carcinoma. This case report is unique in its location, unusually late development, and proposed mechanism of occurrence.
