Impact of the histological phenotype of extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma
The classification of histological phenotypes was originally conceived for pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. Recently, it has been introduced for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The aim of the present study was to clarify the associations between histological phenotype and clinicopathological features of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, using 99 cases of surgically-resected ...
متن کاملCDX2 and MUC2 protein expression in extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma.
Although CDX2-mediated intestinal metaplasia and its association with gastric and esophageal carcinoma have been well described, its function in extrahepatic bile duct (EBD) carcinoma remains unclear. CDX2 and MUC2 expression were examined in 193 EBD carcinomas, and observed in 37.3% and 42.0%, respectively. Both CDX2 and MUC2 were observed in 27.4%. CDX2 (P<.001) and MUC2 (P<.001) were correla...
متن کاملAdenosquamous Carcinoma of Extrahepatic Bile Duct: A Case Report
Most malignant tumors originating from the biliary tract are adenocarcinomas, and adenosqamous carcinoma of Klatskin's tumor is a very rare finding. An 83-yr-old man was admitted to our hospital because of jaundice. The abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed wall thickening and luminal stenosis of both the intrahepatic duct confluent portion and t...
متن کاملPrimary Extrahepatic Bile Duct Carcinoids
Biliary tact carcinoids are extremely rare: only ten cases have been reported up to now. The Authors describe a successfully treated carcinoid tumour of the proximal bile duct and review the literature about these rare malignancies. Despite extensive preoperative work-up, including ultrasound, CT scan and ERCP, a definite diagnosis is hardly possible prior to histologic examination of the opera...
متن کاملExtrahepatic Bile Duct Hepatocellular Carcinoma without Primary Hepatic Parenchymal Lesions
Obstructive jaundice is rarely a presenting symptom of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Most of the cases in the literature describing obstructive jaundice by HCC have a major hepatic component. Extrahepatic HCCs without primary hepatic parenchymal lesions are extremely rare. We encountered a case of extrahepatic HCC without primary hepatic parenchymal lesions in a 36-year-old man who presented ...
