We aimed to investigate whether 2-[ F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[ F]FDG PET/CT) can aid in evaluating the risk of malignancy in ampullary tumors detected by endoscopy. This single-center retrospective cohort study analyzed 155 patients (79 male, 76...
