ABSTRACT
Herein we describe what is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of a composite tumor of the main bile duct with epiploon metastases. Glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide, and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were demonstrated in these metastases, but not serotonin, gastrin, or insulin-immunoreactive cells. The clinical significance of the neuroendocrine cells in the present case is discussed.
