Mucin-hypersecreting Biliary Neoplasms:Two Case Report
Abstract
- Mucin-hypersecreting biliary neoplasm excretes excessive mucin that fills the biliary tree and results in marked dilatation of the bile ducts and obstructive jaundice. In these neoplasm, the mucin produced by the tumor rather than the tumor itself plays an important role in clinical course and radiologic patterns. The purpose of this paper is to report characteristic radiologic patterns of mucin-hypersecreting biliary neoplasms in two cases. These neoplasms were characterized by not only multilocular cystic hepatic mass or extra-hepatic bile duct mass resulting in marked biliary dilatation distal to the mass on US or CT, but also change of shape and extent of amorphous filling defects in the markedly dilated bile duct on serial cholangiograms.
