  ABSTRACT: Gangliocytic paraganglioma (GP), a rare tumour that arises most frequently from the periampullary area, is considered to be a benign neoplasm with a potential for lymphatic spread. Distant metastases are rare [1]. We report a case of a 51 year old female who presented with abdominal pain, anaemia and melaena. Endoscopy, push enteroscopy and biopsy revealed a periampullary neuroendocrine tumour. Immunohistochemistry of the pancreatic duodenectomy specimen demonstrated a duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma with no lymph node metastases. We review the literature on this rare tumour and the current treatment protocol.
