J. Matsumoto et al., DIC-CT findings of biliary cystadenocarcinoma communicating with the bile duct: A case report, HEP-GASTRO, 48(40), 2001, pp. 1005-1006
Among the intrahepatic cystic diseases except Caroli's disease, only biliar
y cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma may communicate with the bile duct. We pre
sent a case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma in which drip infusion cholangiog
raphic-computed tomography demonstrated communication between an intrahepat
ic cyst and the biliary system preoperatively. Drip infusion cholangiograph
ic-computed tomography, a simple and noninvasive examination, is useful for
differentiating biliary cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma from other intrahep
atic cystic lesions.
