“…Simultaneously dilated bile ducts and intraluminal lesions are typical of IPNB. [ 34 , 76 , 77 , 79 – 82 ] In turn, both MCN-L and the cystic variant of IPNB must be distinguished from hydatid cysts. [ 83 – 87 ] Because IPNB manifests with focal dilatation of the bile ducts, diseases that cause focal biliary dilatation may mimic IPNB and must be distinguished.…”

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts is a rare tumor. Characteristic features include bile duct dilatation, cystic lesions with communication to the bile ducts, and intraluminal solid nodules arising from the bile duct wall. As in pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia, intestinal, pancreaticobiliary, gastric, and oncocytic types are described. Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts has a high potential for malignancy, and patients should be surgically resected when possible. In this review, the complex imaging diagnosis is presented. The main focus is on contrast-enhanced ultrasound, an established method for many other indications whose potential on the biliary system should be better exploited. In the present article, typical contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings in intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts are demonstrated.

Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver (MCN-Ls) are rare cystic liver tumors. Herein, we report a case of MCN-L wherein complete surgical resection was successful. A 17-year-old girl initially presented to the referring hospital with a chief complaint of upper abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a cystic lesion in the medial segment of the liver. After eight months, the cystic lesion showed a tendency to increase in size, and the patient was referred to our hospital. CT showed a cystic lesion with dilation of the left hepatic duct and duct of the right anterior segment. Magnetic resonance imaging and abdominal ultrasonography revealed a multilocular cyst. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed sclerotic changes, dilatation, and irregular wall features in the left hepatic duct. No communication between the cystic lesion and the biliary system was observed; there was no evidence of biliary prolapse. A left hepatectomy and cholecystectomy were performed. Histological examination revealed an ovarian-like stroma (OLS); the lesion was diagnosed as MCN-L. The patient was recurrence-free six months postoperatively.To our best knowledge, this is the second reported case of teenage-onset MCN-L. We report the development of MCN-L in a teenager, highlighting the potential of this rare tumor for manifesting even at a young age. Our case demonstrated that MCN-L, despite its typically benign nature, should be carefully monitored. Although most cases of MCN-L do not require immediate surgery, timely surgical intervention may be necessary in cases of rapid growth or persistent symptoms.
