An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the ampulla of Vater, an exceptional location: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction and importance: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors constitute a group of mesenchymal tumors associated with inflammatory infiltration. They occur mainly in young patients. It is classified by the World Health Organization as a borderline neoplasm. They are observed in many organs, particularly the lungs. Digestive localization is rare, and localization into the ampulla of Vater has been reported once. Case presentation: We report the case of a 39-year-old patient who was admitted for cholestatic jaundice with right hypochondrium pain. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor at the biliopancreatic junction. A cephalic duodenopancreatectomy was performed, and a histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the ampulla of Vater. The postoperative evolution was without any complications. Clinical discussion: This is the second case of localization of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in Vater's ampulla. The therapeutic approach is the complete excision of these inflammatory tumors, thus reducing the risk of local recurrence. In the literature, all cases of incomplete excision have resulted in recurrences. Conclusion: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are rare. The diagnosis was based on histopathological findings and confirmed using immunohistochemical techniques.
