Version: 2Date:23 December 2009
Reviewer: Takayuki Aimoto
Reviewer's report:
This paper demonstrates a very rare case with carcinod tumor of the minor
papilla in complete pancreas divisum. Thi is a very interesting case report and
well-described. So this paper is worth publishing in this journal. However, there
are some points that the autohr should revise before final decision.
Minor essential revisions
1.In this paper, although EUS was reported to be useful for detecting a small
tumor of the minor papilla, there were no EUS images of the carcinoid tumor in
this paper. This author should add this figure.
2.The author confused the explanation of Figure 3A,B with these images. Correct
figure legends and the text.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
