Peri-ampullary mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma

Abstract
Mixed acinar-endocrine carcinomas (MAEC) are rare tumors of the pancreas. We present the case of a patient with peri-ampullary tumor that presented with painless jaundice and after investigation was found to have MAEC. He underwent pancreaticoduodunectomy with tumor free margins and negative lymph nodes. The patient presented with local recurrence and liver metastasis after 1 year and is on chemotherapy with stable lesions 30 months after the diagnosis.
