Cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct cancer, is a type of cancer that forms in the bile ducts. [2] Symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma may include abdominal pain , yellowish skin , weight loss , generalized itching , and fever. [ 1 ]
The majority of cholangiocarcimas occur in the hilar region of the liver, and often present as bile duct obstruction. If the cause of obstruction is suspected to be malignant, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), ultrasound, CT, MRI and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are used. [52]
In infants, choledochal cysts usually lead to obstruction of the bile ducts and retention of bile. This leads to jaundice and an enlarged liver . If the obstruction is not relieved, permanent damage may occur to the liver - scarring and cirrhosis - with the signs of portal hypertension (obstruction to the flow of blood through the liver) and ...
[4] [5] Congenital biliary cystic disease, such as choledochal cysts or Caroli's disease, [6] [7] [8] has also been associated with malignant transformation in up to 25% of cases. These conditions appear to be related to an anomalous pancreatico-biliary duct junction and, perhaps, are related to the reflux of pancreatic secretions into the bile ...
There were no changes in the topography axis between ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3. See List of ICD-10 codes#(C00–C97) Malignant Neoplasms for examples. International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3)
Gastrointestinal cancer refers to malignant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and accessory organs of digestion, including the esophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus. The symptoms relate to the organ affected and can include obstruction (leading to difficulty swallowing ...
Malignant cell growth, such as a pancreatic head tumor, [3] can prevent proper repositioning of the duodenum to be in close contact with the bile duct. [5] Performing a CDD may lead to a tension-filled surgical anastomosis, leading to bile leakage and jaundice. [6] There is also the possibility of active tumour growth obstructing the CBD.
