In pathology, an apudoma is an endocrine tumour that arises from an APUD cell[2][3] from structures such as the ampulla of Vater,.[4] They were historically thought to be derived from neural crest cells,[5] but this has since been shown to be untrue (see neuroendocrine tumor).
The term dates back to at least 1975.[6] Because the label "Apudoma" is very general, it is preferred to use a more specific term when possible.[citation needed]
