1/22. Intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma causing luminal common bile duct obstruction.BACKGROUND: Biliary cystadenomas are rare cystic tumours that arise in the liver or less frequently in the extrahepatic biliary system. They are commoner in middle-aged women, their most favoured site is the right hepatic lobe. methods: Case report and review of the literature. RESULTS: We present only the second case of an intrahepatic cystadenoma causing luminal obstruction of the common bile duct. Clinical presentation is often non-specific and can prove to be a diagnostic challenge. CONCLUSION: Wide local excision of biliary cystadenomas is recommended, with regular radiological follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/22. Biliary cystadenoma: rare variant of intrahepatic cystic disease.Intrahepatic nonparasitic cystic disease is rare and may be of congenital or neoplastic origin. The most frequent symptoms and signs are nonspecific and include pain, nausea, fullness, increased girth, and palpable mass. Interventional therapy is reserved for symptomatic patients, which usually corresponds to cysts >5 cm in diameter. Retrospective analysis revealed 26 cases of intrahepatic cystic disease over 15 years at our institution. We discuss the case of a patient who had bilobular biliary cystadenomatous disease, a rare, benign variant of intrahepatic nonparasitic cystic disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/22. Huge biliary cystadenoma mimicking cholecystic lymphangioma in subhepatic space.Biliary cystadenoma is a rare cystic neoplasm and constitutes only 5% of all intrahepatic cysts of biliary origin. We report a case of a 44-year-old woman with huge biliary cystadenoma in the subhepatic space, mimicking a cholecystic lymphangioma. Findings of various imaging modalities including reconstructed CT image are presented and correlated with surgical and pathologic findings.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/22. A report of 5 cases of cystic bile duct carcinoma of the liver and proposal of a new classification.Primary biliary cystadenocarcinoma of the liver is rare. Among 239 patients with primary liver cancer admitted to our service during the last 13 years, there were 5 cases of cystic bile duct carcinoma of the liver. Three of these were cystadenocarcinoma, one was adenocarcinoma arising from a liver cyst, and one was carcinoma of the intrahepatic bile ducts with cystic dilatation. A better classification of these entities seems necessary, and it is suggested that malignant cystic tumors of the liver should be divided into 3 groups: Group A is cystic adenocarcinoma, group B is bile duct carcinoma with primary or secondary intrahepatic bile duct, and group C is degenerative cyst formation by other types of malignant tumors. Cystic adenocarcinoma (Group A) can then be further subdivided into cystadenocarcinoma, cystadenocarcinoma with cystadenoma, and carcinoma in a simple cyst of the liver.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/22. Well-differentiated peripheral cholangiocarcinoma with an unusual clinical course.A patient with an unresectable well-differentiated bile duct tumor who survived for 15 yr after biopsy diagnosis is presented. Histologic examination of the tumor revealed bland features of bile duct adenoma despite extensive spread within the liver. Over its subsequent course, the tumor progressively replaced the liver, achieving huge size, although there was no evidence of metastases until shortly before the patient's death. This clinical course was very unusual for either bile duct adenoma or cholangiocarcinoma, but would be more characteristic of another tumor of intrahepatic bile duct origin, the biliary cystadenoma. However, this latter diagnosis was excluded with both gross and microscopic pathologic criteria. Evidence is presented to support classification of this tumor as an unusual varient of peripheral cholangiocarcinoma which requires correlation of the clinical and pathologic findings for correst diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/22. Hepatobiliary cystadenoma.Hepatobiliary cystadenomas are rare, truly benign cystic epithelial tumors with the potential to become cystadenocarcinoma. The initial symptom is vague, nonspecific abdominal pain, frequently in middle-aged women, but patients may be asymptomatic. Abdominal ultrasonography may be diagnostic. Intracystic fluid, obtained by sonographically guided fine-needle aspiration, may contain elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen. Complete resection or enucleation is the treatment of choice. We present the cases of two patients with hepatobiliary cystadenoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/22. Biliary cystadenoma of the liver with elevated CA 19-9.A case of intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma with mesenchymal stroma is reported. The tumor was associated with strikingly elevated serum and intracystic levels of the tumor-associated antigen CA19-9. Two months after surgical enucleation, serum CA 19-9 levels returned to normal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/22. Biliary cystadenoma mistaken as hydatid cyst.First documented case of biliary cystadenoma in a non-white elderly female is described, showing (so called) low-density daughter cysts within the mother cyst emphasising the fact that presence of daughter cysts within a mother cyst cannot be considered pathognomonic of hepatic hydatid cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/22. Recurrent biliary cystadenoma: MR imaging appearance.The authors report the case of a 37-year-old woman with a biliary cystadenoma that mimicked a liver cyst. The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of this rare lesion were correlated with the pathologic findings, showing the potential of MR imaging for depicting and aiding in the diagnosis of biliary cystadenoma and its recurrence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = cystadenoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
