Background Carcinoid tumours of the extrahepatic bile duct EHBD represent extremely rare lesions. These neoplasms account for to of all gastrointestinal carcinoid tumours 1 . Unlike cholangiocarcinomas bile duct carcinoids occur more commonly in younger patients and in women 2 . Altogether 70 patients with carcinoid tumours arising from the biliary tree have been reported in the literature 3 . Similarly follicular lymphomas of the ampulla of Vater represent an infrequent entity accounting for only of all gastrointestinal lymphomas 4 with only a few cases reported in the literature 4 5 . Interestingly these cases most commonly occured in women. We report the first case of a synchronous carcinoid tumour of the EHBD and an ampullary follicular lymphoma that was treated surgically. Case Presentation A 43-year old Caucasian male with no remarkable medical history was referred to our clinic with intermittent jaundice and a 1-month .
