ABSTRACT
An ampulla of Vater neuroendocrine tumor (AOV-NET) is a rare subset of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Very few studies have been undertaken regarding MRI findings of an AOV-NET. We report on a case of a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with an AOV-NET with liver and lymph node metastasis, with an emphasis on the MRI findings. This case shows rare and precious typical MRI findings of an AOV-NET. The MRI visualized the AOV-NET very well and is helpful for the differentiation of an AOV-NET from other tumors in the ampullary area as well as with treatment planning.
