Abstract
- A fifty year old Korean female was admitted with a few months history of general malaise. On admission, positive HBs Ag, negative HBs Ab and HBe Ag was negative. The liver function tests showed AST 274 U/L, ALT 126 U/L, CEA 1.87 ng/ml. With the clinical impression of chronic hepatitis B, abdominal CT and ERCP were performed and demonstrated a narrowing of the distal common bile duct suggesting a malignant etiology. The Whipple's procedure was done. The intraoperative finding revealed neoplastic involvement of the distal 1 cm of the common bile duct with severe narrowing and proximal dilatation. Microscopic findings demonstrated cystically dilated ductular structures and intervening irregular hypertrophic smooth muscle bundles.
