“…In Eastern countries, specifically in Japan, anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction is considered to be an important risk factor for CG (Kimura et al 1985;Lin et al 1988;Ozmen et al 1991;Chijiiwa et al 1993;Tseng et al 1993;Hanada et al 1996;Uetsuji et al 1996;Yang et al 1997;Egami et al 1998;Chao et al 1999;Yoshida et al 1999;Ng 2000;Elnemr et al 2001;Nakayama et al 2001;Sakurai et al 2001;Yano et al 2001;Takayashiki et al 2002;Hu et al 2003;Kang et al 2007;Noda et al 2007;Hori et al 2008;review: Tsuchida et al 2003). In an investigation of the Japanese Study Group of Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction (PBM), PBM was found in 52 (3 %) of 1,722 patients investigated with ERCP, and of these, 14 patients had developed CG (Egami et al 1998).…”

“…The frequency of both gallbladder and bile‐duct cancer in patient without choledochal cyst was 50% compared with 14% in patients with the cyst. Some authors have thus recommended prophylactic cholecystectomy and choledochal cyst excision, if the cyst is present, in patients with APBJ 37–39 …”

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is one of the most recent advances in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Available EUS devices include echoendoscopes, such as radial scanning and linear array echoendoscopes, and catheter ultrasound probes. Endoscopic ultrasonography has various applications, such as staging of gastrointestinal malignancy, evaluation of submucosal tumors, and has grown to be an important modality in evaluating the pancreaticobiliary system. With regard to the biliary system, EUS is useful for the detection and staging of ampullary tumors, detection of microlithiasis and choledocholithiasis and evaluation of benign and malignant bile-duct strictures. Endoscopic ultrasonography may be used as an adjunct to transabdominal ultrasound for the detection and characterization of gallbladder polyps. In addition, EUS is helpful in the staging of gallbladder cancer as well as in diagnosing anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction with its associated pancreatobiliary diseases. The present paper reviews the current applications of EUS for imaging and intervention in diseases of the extrahepatic biliary system.
