چکیده
INTRODUCTION Synchronous double cancer of the gallbladder and pancreas that is associated with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) and pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is extremely rare. PBM is frequently reported in Asia, particularly in Japan. We report a surgical case of synchronous double cancer in a patient with primary gallbladder and pancreatic cancer. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 72-year-old woman with epigastralgia underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and gallbladder bed resection for synchronous primary gallbladder and pancreatic head cancer. Histopathological examination revealed moderately differentiated ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head and well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma at the bottom of the gallbladder. CONCLUSION Synchronous gallbladder and pancreatic cancer is extremely rare. It is necessary to determine the optimal surgical course taking into consideration the degree of tumor progression. This is the second case of synchronous primary gallbladder and pancreatic cancer associated with CBD accompanied by PBM.

AIM To clarify the features of biliary carcinomas and pancreatic disorders associated with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). METHOD A total of 107 PBM patients with biliary dilatation were reviewed (52 with and 55 without PBM). Clinicopathological findings of biliary carcinomas, and acute or chronic pancreatitis were examined in association with PBM. We also investigated pancreatographic ...

Curative resection is the only treatment for biliary tract cancer that achieves long-term survival. However, patients with advanced biliary tract cancer have only a limited prognosis even after radical surgical resection. Thus, to improve the longterm results, the early detection of biliary tract cancer and subsequent cure seem to be essential. The purpose of this study was to review the litera...
متن کاملPitfalls of MRCP in the diagnosis of pancreaticobiliary maljunction.
CONTEXT Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is useful for examining the pancreatic duct system in patients with acute pancreatitis instead of using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), as ERCP-induced pancreatitis represents a serious problem. However, we present here a case of idiopathic acute pancreatitis in which MRCP suggested pancreaticobiliary maljunction,...
متن کاملGallbladder Papillary Neoplasia Associated With Intrahepatic Carcinoma and Pancreaticobiliary Malformation
Papillary carcinoma is a rare tumor of the gallbladder. Papillary mucinous lesions of the intra- and extra-hepatic biliary tract (BT- IPMN) have been recognized. However the gallbladder is not included, except for the diffuse papillomatosis, where the sequence biliary papillomatosis to papillary carcinoma is proposed. We report a simultaneous case of gallbladder papillary neoplasia and intrahep...
متن کاملHilar cholangiocarcinoma accompanied by pancreaticobiliary maljunction without bile duct dilatation 20 years after cholecystectomy: report of a case.
Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is associated with the occurrence of biliary cancer due to pancreatobiliary reflux. From the perspective of carcinogenesis, the treatment for PBM is controversial. We herein report a case of hilar cholangiocarcinoma 20 years after the occurrence of gallbladder cancer. A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital regarding an obstructive jaundice and bile d...
