Hepatic Mucinous Cystic Tumor Communicating with the Bile Duct

چکیده
A 65-year-old woman developed chronic renal failure of unknown etiology and required hemodialysis. She was scheduled to undergo living-related renal transplantation from her husband. However, a cystic lesion of the liver associated with calcification, gallstones, and dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts (B2-B3) was found by the referring hospital. Investigation of the cystic tumor was performed at that hospital. Percutaneous transhepatic cyst puncture and infusion of contrast medium showed a communication between the cyst and the bile duct (Figure 1). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography also revealed a communication with the cystic lesion. After drainage of the cyst was performed, dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts diminished.

Biliary cystic tumors are rare neoplasms occurring in the liver and less frequently in the extrahepatic biliary system. Recently, biliary cystic tumors in the liver are thought to be divided into a biliary mucinous cystic neoplasm and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. We report a case of a large cystic tumor originating around the hepatic hilum which had luminal communication wit...

BACKGROUND Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver with extrahepatic growth is a rare benign epithelial neoplasm of the biliary system that presents with a mass effect or is incidentally found on imaging. The tumor affects mostly the common hepatic duct, which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively by radiology, endoscopy, or cystic fluid analysis. Endoscopic ultrasound is a noninvasive tool for...

Cystic neoplasms of the liver are divided into two types: mucinous cystic neoplasm and cystic intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. We herein report two cases of cystic and papillary neoplasm of the liver which differed from the abovementioned types. Case 1. A 70-year-old man. Radiologically, a cystic tumor measuring 20 mm in diameter was found at the hepatic hilum. Right hepatectom...

Mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the liver is a biliary counterpart of pancreatic MCN, usually occurring in the liver, but occasionally extending to the extrahepatic bile duct [1,2]. We present a case of MCN with extrahepatic bile duct extension diagnosed by peroral video cholangioscopy (POVCS). A 49-year-old woman was admitted with a week of vomiting without abdominal pain, and jaundice. Abdo...
