Tubulopapillary adenoma of the gallbladder accompanied by bile duct tumor thrombus

Abstract: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is recognized as a precancerous lesion; however, both its pathogenesis and progression remain unclear. We present here a case of IPNB arising from the gallbladder accompanied by bile duct tumor thrombus in a 79-year-old female. The resected specimen revealed a tubulopapillary adenoma with no malignant cells. This case suggests that even in the absence of malignant cells, these tumors can behave as malignant tumors requiring aggressive treatment. E… Show more

“…Adenoma which was located at the neck of gallbladder can cause gallbladder obstruction and cholecystitis. The diameter of the most gallbladder adenoma was <15.0 mm or 20.0 mm [15][16][17], it was originated in body or bottom of the gallbladder with soft texture. It can be single and multiple.…”

“…Regardless, excision is needed to resolve the patient's symptoms and to rule out other benign or malignant cystic lesions including biliary cystadenoma, cystadenocarcinoma, cystic gastric heterotopias, cystic duct cyst, and cystic lymphangioma. 9 Histologic examination and accurate pathologic diagnosis are essential to avoid unnecessary additional treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy for malignant neoplasms. Radiologically, however, these cysts of the gallbladder are generally suggestive of benign cystic lesions.…”
