Pancreaticobiliary Ductal Anatomy in the Normal Population.

چکیده
BACKGROUND The complex anatomy of the pancreaticobiliary duct was crucial in management of pancreatic and biliary tract disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fresh specimens of pancreas, common bile duct (CBD), and duodenum were obtained en bloc from autopsies of 160 patients. RESULTS Ninety-three male and 67 female patients were included. The length of the pancreas ranged from 9.8-20 cm (mean, 16.20 +/- 1.70 cm). The intrapancreatic portion of the CBD showed patterns of three types: most common (85.30%) was type A, in which the anterior surface of the common bile duct was totally covered, while its posterior surface was partially covered, by the pancreatic parenchyma. On dissection of the accessory duct of Santorini, the accessory duct was traceable to the duodenal wall in 67.6%. The anatomy of the Wirsung-choledochus confluence was grouped into five different types. The common channel was found in 75.60% and its length varied from just a common junction (so-called "V-type" anatomy) to 15 mm (Y-type-b). Separate papillae (so-called "II-type") were found in 15.3% of specimens. CONCLUSIONS Several important points regarding the anatomy of the pancreaticobiliary junction and pancreatic ductal system were illustrated in this study.

متن کاملsox9b Is a Key Regulator of Pancreaticobiliary Ductal System Development
The pancreaticobiliary ductal system connects the liver and pancreas to the intestine. It is composed of the hepatopancreatic ductal (HPD) system as well as the intrahepatic biliary ducts and the intrapancreatic ducts. Despite its physiological importance, the development of the pancreaticobiliary ductal system remains poorly understood. The SRY-related transcription factor SOX9 is expressed in...

The UK incidence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is 9 per 100,000 population, and biliary tract cancer occurs at a rate of 1-2 per 100,000. The incidence of both cancers is increasing annually and these tumours continue to be diagnosed late and at an advanced stage, limiting options for curative treatment. Population-based screening programmes do not exist for these cancers, and diagnosis c...

We report a case of double cancer of the gallbladder and the common bile duct associated with anomalous junction of the pancreaticobiliary ductal system, and review the literature of similar case reports. A 66-year-old woman was admitted to an associated hospital complaining of upper abdominal pain, and was diagnosed as having pancreatitis. Abdominal imaging revealed an irregularly protruding m...

They are acquired extraluminal outpouchings of the mucosal wall through the muscularis propria and their incidence increases with age. While most duodenal diverticula do not cause major symptoms, they are increasingly recognized as causes of pancreaticobiliary disease. Food bezoar in a juxtapapill...
