Abstract
Gangliocytic paragangliomas are benign neuro-endocrine tumors of the ampulla of Vater. Their preoperative diagnosis is hampered by the low yield of biopsies and non-specific imaging. Their management relies then on resection. But the type of resection is controversial. Radical resection is indicated in case of lymph node involvement.
