A histological biopsy showed an adenocarcinoma with the characteristics of signet ring cells (Fig. 2). Histopathological findings showed an SRCC of 1.2 cm, poorly differentiated, without peripancreatic invasion, lymph node involvement, angioinvasion, or perineural invasion (Fig. 2, 3).
Immunohistochemical staining of the ampullary tumor, with benign tissue on the left border of each image. Positive staining for CK-19 (a), CK-20 (b), MUC-1 (c), MUC-2 (d), CDX-2 (e), DPC-4 (f), and negative for MUC-5ac (g).

Immunohistochemical staining showed that the signet ring cells were positive for CK20, CK19, MUC-1 (weak), MUC-2, CDX-2, and DPC-4, and negative for CK7, ER, GCDFP, and MUC-5ac (Fig. 3). Histopathological findings showed an SRCC of 1.2 cm, poorly differentiated, without peripancreatic invasion, lymph node involvement, angioinvasion, or perineural invasion (Fig. 2, 3).
