ABSTRACT

We present a case of resected mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver in a 71-year-old woman admitted to our hospital with epigastric discomfort. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a multi-locular cystic tumor measuring 35 mm in diameter in segment IV of the liver. Left hepatic lobectomy was performed based on the diagnosis of mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver; subsequent histology revealed that the tumor was multi-locular, cystic, and lined with a single layer of columnar epithelium with low-grade atypia and was associated with a typical ovarian-like stroma. There was no evidence (imaging or histological) to support communication of the cyst with the intrahepatic bile duct, despite modest bile deposition being observed in the cystic wall. The definitive diagnosis was mucinous cystic neoplasm with low-grade intrahepatic epithelial neoplasia.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In duodenoscopy, during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a backward-oblique angle duodenoscope (BOAD) is generally used. In Japan, 15 degrees BOAD are mainly used, but in Western countries, 5 degrees BOAD are mostly used. In bile duct cannulation associated with ERCP, a catheter for contrast imaging is used in Japan, but wire-guided cannulation (WGC) using a papillotome is standard in Western countries. We conducted a randomized controlled multicenter trial to evaluate the contributions of different duodenoscopes using WGC to selective common bile duct cannulation. METHODS: Subjects comprised 179 consecutive patients who underwent ERCP. Patients were randomized into the 15 degrees BOAD group (15 degrees group, n = 90) or the 5 degrees BOAD group (5 degrees group, n = 89). RESULTS: The duodenal papilla could not be accessed endoscopically in two cases from each group. Success rates for bile duct cannulation by WGC without bow-up for the 15 degrees and 5 degrees groups were 85.6 and 56.2%, respectively (P < 0.01). Success rates for bile duct cannulation by WGC with bow-up for the 15 degrees and 5 degrees groups were 88.9 and 78.7%, respectively. Total rates of bile duct cannulation for the 15 degrees and 5 degrees groups were 94.4 and 92.1%, respectively. As for accidents, incidences of acute pancreatitis for the 15 degrees and 5 degrees groups were 5.6 and 9.0%, respectively, with no significant difference seen. CONCLUSIONS: With 15 degrees BOAD, bile duct cannulation was favorable without papillotome bow-up. With 5 degrees BOAD, the success rate of WGC may be improved by adjusting the angle based on papillotome bow-up.

ABSTRACT

Pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis associated pseudocyst are not uncommon disorders. However, occurrence of the cancer with an initial manifestation of pseudocyst has been rarely reported. Surgery was performed on a 44-year-old male patient for an abscess-like cavity situated at the mesenteric side of the colon and extending from the splenic flexure to the descending colon. The lesion was verified as a pseudocyst with fat necrosis due to leakage of pancreatic fluid. When further surgery was carried out 1 month later in order to manage the drainage site of the pancreatic fluid, cancer of the pancreas body was detected proximal to the drainage site. The cancer was a moderately differentiated ductal adenocarcinoma with wide peripancreatic infiltration. It is thought that the cancer-associated duct obstruction caused a local pancreatitis resulting in a large communicating pseudocyst, although the exact mechanism remains unresolved. The present case may be instructive in showing physicians that a pseudocyst may obscure the presence of pancreatic cancer.
