CT or MRI showed the location, size and relationship with abjacent tissue of carcinoma in 26 patients, and the finger-stall sign of the descending part of the duodenum in 18 patients among them. Space occupying lesion of carcinoma was found dimly in 4 patients, no space occupying lesion of carcinoma was found in 3 patients.Conclusion The finger-stall sign of the descending part of the duodenum and finding of mass of ampulla are characteristic findings of carcinoma around Vaterys ampulla, low-tension CT and MRI are valuable methods of diagnosis of carcinoma around Vatery’s ampulla.
