New York: Springer, 2012. ©American Joint Committee on Cancer Ampulla of Vater Regional lymph nodes of the ampulla of Vater include lymph nodes in the region of the head of the pancreas, and those of the hepatic artery and pyloric regions. Lymph nodes along the distal body and tail of the pancreas are not considered regional lymph nodes for the ampulla of Vater. Compton, C.C., Byrd, D.R., et al., Editors.
