Project description:Introduction and importanceIntraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a tumour with a very low incidence in the Western world, characterised by a high risk of malignant transformation and unknown prognosis. It is a new entity which was adopted by the WHO in 2010 as a precursor lesion of cholangiocarcinoma. Intrahepatic bile duct is the most common site of origin for IPNB.Case presentationHereby, we present a case of an asymptomatic 63- year-old man, referred to our department after routine ultrasonography showing a multifocal cystic lesion on the left hepatic lobe. Further screening modalities (CT, MRI abdo) confirmed a complex cystic liver lesion with atypical features. The patient underwent left hepatectomy. Histopathology showed a cystic type intrahepatic IPNB, which was completely resected (R0). The follow up in 2 yrs post-operation showed no signs of recurrence.Clinical discussionThe diagnosis and management of IPNB remain challenging. A multimodality imaging approach is essential in order to diagnose IPNB, assess tumour location and extent and plan the optimal treatment strategy.ConclusionComplete surgical resection (R0) with close postoperative follow-up offers long-term survival.

Endoscopic Endoluminal Radiofrequency Ablation and Single-Operator Peroral Cholangioscopy System (SpyGlass) in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the Bile Duct: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Background: Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare biliary benign tumor with atypical clinical features and is frequently misdiagnosed. Its treatment is limited and surgical resection is thought to be the only therapeutic option in patients with IPNB. With the aim of increasing the early diagnosis rate of IPNB and providing more therapeutic options for surgeons, we innovatively put forward the concept of combined utilization of SpyGlass and endoscopic endoluminal radiofrequency ablation (ERFA) in the diagnosis and treatment of IPNB. Case Presentation: An 85-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to right upper quadrant abdominal pain. The image examinations indicated suspicious filling defects at the upper common bile duct. Further evaluation of SpyGlass cholangioscopy showed multiple reddish villous lesions at the left hepatic duct, and SpyBite biopsy under direct visualization demonstrated papillary low-grade dysplasia. In consideration of the advanced age and preference of the patient, the novel ERFA therapy was performed. The procedure was successful without periprocedural complications; the patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged 2 days after the operation. Upon follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and in good physical condition at 8 months postoperatively. Conclusion: Preliminarily, we demonstrate that the strategy of a combination of SpyGlass and ERAF seems to be a promising, feasible, well-tolerated, and safe management for patients with IPNB. However, more data with larger patient volumes are needed to evaluate its outcomes further.

Colon cancer metastasis mimicking intraductal papillary neoplasm of the extra-hepatic bile duct.

Project description:IntroductionAn accurate diagnosis of the primary cancer in cases with metastatic lesions is quite important because misdiagnosis may lead to the selection of incorrect adjuvant therapy and worse long-term outcomes after surgery. The metastatic sites associated with the dissemination of colon cancer are well known and normally predictable, which includes the lymphatic, haematogenous, or peritoneal regions, while other locations are quite rare.Presentation of caseIn this report, we present a case of colon cancer with an unusual metastatic pattern mimicking an intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) present in the extra-hepatic bile duct with a cytokeratin (CK)-7-negative and CK-20-positive profile (intestinal type).DiscussionIn the case of this patient who had a history of colon cancer, immunohistochemical staining for the CKs was useful for distinguishing between primary IPNB and colon cancer metastases. We suspect that the metastatic pattern of this case of colon cancer that mimicked IPNB at the extra-hepatic bile duct developed incidentally via the bile stream.ConclusionThis is a rare case of colon cancer metastasis mimicking IPNB at the extra-hepatic bile duct. Our findings also suggest that there may be an incidental 4th metastatic route via the bile stream.

Normal bile duct findings using peroral cholangioscopy-guided probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (with video).

Project description:We encountered a case of wall thickening of the bile duct in a 69-year-old man. endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed for detailed examination. When an area considered to be the healthy bile duct was examined by peroral cholangioscopes (POCS) (SPYGlass DS), the vascular network was observed. POCS-guided, probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE; CholangioFlex, Cellvizio; Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France), performed using the fluorescein-dripping method on this area, showed a reticular network of thin dark branching bands, which were presumed to be a collagen bundle or lymphatic vessels according to the Miami Classification. However, 8 μm-diameter objects thought to be red blood cells were observed inside the bands, which were considered to correspond to the vascular network observed on POCS. A biopsy specimen of this site was taken. The histological examination demonstrated capillaries just beneath the bile duct epithelium. Thus, the histology also suggested the presence of the vascular network. In this study, we obtained findings that cannot be explained in terms of the Miami Classification, which we describe here with a video.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct with choledochoduodenal fistula: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundIntraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct (IPMN-B) is a neoplastic disease of the bile duct with papillary hyperplasia and mucus secretion, which originates from the duct epithelium and rarely complicates with fistula formation.Case descriptionThe patient was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain and yellow skin. Laboratory results showed alanine aminotransferase 299 U/L, total bilirubin 350 µmol/L, computerized tomography showed severe dilatation of common bile duct and extrahepatic bile duct. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts were markedly dilated, and the signal of the bile ducts was uneven. Endoscope identified a large amount of mucus above the papilla that flowing out from the fistula. Further cholangiography through the fistula showed significant dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct. SpyGlass examination showed a large amount of gelatinous mucus in the bile duct lumen and "fish-scaly or coral" changes in the mucosa of the right anterior branch bile duct, hepatic hilum as well as lower common bile duct. IPMN-B with choledochoduodenal fistula was diagnosed. The patient was then discharged with nasal biliary drainage and biliary stenting, oral antipyretic and hepatoprotective drugs. The patient's biliary obstruction and symptoms of infection improved with medical treatment but recured. Unfortunately, the patient died 10 months after his first visit.ConclusionsSpyGlass has advantages in identifying the nature and extent of lesions, providing important references for diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopic intervention relieves biliary obstruction to some extent in patients with high operative risk or reluctance to undergo surgery.
