1
Background: The prognosis for patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer remains poor.
2
Spindle cell-type undifferentiated carcinoma arising from the extrahepatic bile duct is extremely rare.
3
Background & aims: Endoscopic stents are placed for palliation of extrahepatic bile duct obstruction.
4
These abnormalities affect the intrahepatic as well as extrahepatic bile ducts and the gallbladder.
5
The histological examination of the resected extrahepatic bile duct confirmed infiltrating moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.
6
Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma without papilla or tubule formation of the extrahepatic bile duct is rare.
7
In addition, the gall bladder was absent and the extrahepatic bile duct could not be identified.
8
Conclusions: IDUS prior to biliary drainage would be useful in demonstrating longitudinal extension of extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma.
9
Biliary atresia is a severe cholangiopathy of early infancy that destroys extrahepatic bile ducts and disrupts bile flow.
10
Choledochal cysts are rare congenital anomalies which are principally diagnosed by disproportional dilatation of the extrahepatic bile ducts.
11
Smaller increases in risk were seen for cancers of the gallbladder, the extrahepatic bile ducts, and the ampulla of Vater.
12
A high effectiveness of the "Caproiod" thread in the emergency surgery of the extrahepatic bile ducts was noted.
13
Conclusion: Long-term survival can be expected in patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer who undergo radical surgery and postoperative chemoradiation.
14
Subsequently, the tumor was completely extracted via right hepatectomy with en bloc resection of the caudate lobe and extrahepatic bile duct.
15
A cholangioscope detected an elevated tumor covered by sludge in the CBD, and we performed an extrahepatic bile duct resection and cholecystectomy.
16
Therefore, a left hepatic lobectomy together with resection of the extrahepatic bile duct followed by a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was the procedure of choice.
