A Case of Biliary Cystadenocarcinoma Arising form Biliary Cystandenoma
Abstract
- Biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy and occurs predominantly in middle aged woman. Its clinical manifestation is nonspecific and not distinctive from benign cystic lesion. Sonography and computed tomography usually show a septated, multiloculated cystic mass with varying degrees of mural and septal thiekening. Ultrasonography and/or CT have been used for guidance in the percutaneous aspiration of the cystic fluid and needle biopsy. We report one case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma, which arised from cystadenoma in a 67-year-old man, with a review of literature.
