Περίληψη:
Biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms are very rare tumors of the biliary
tract with malignant potential. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging,
as clinical, biochemical and radiological features are not specific.
Surgical resection with negative margins is the gold standard treatment
for these uncommon lesions. A 55-year-old woman presented at the Third
Department of Surgery (Attikon University Hospital, Athens, Greece) with
a history of mild right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdominal pain and
jaundice. A 2-cm lesion in the distal common bile was identified by
imaging. Following discussion in our multidisciplinary board meeting the
patient underwent a pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, and
histopathological examination revealed an ovarian-stromal type
intraductal mucinous cystic neoplasm of the extra hepatic biliary. Since
biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms are characterized by malignant
transformation and high rates of recurrence, surgical resection with
negative margins is the treatment of choice for both non-invasive and
invasive biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms.
