Article Abstract

Biliary papillomatosis is a papillary adenomatosis of the biliary mucosa of the extra- and the intrahepatic biliary tree. It is a rare neoplasm difficult to manage, characterized by extensive lesions and a great potential for malignant transformation. We report a case of a 75 year-old man, who presented with malignant papillomatosis of the common bile duct without involvement of the intrahepatic biliary ducts. Duodenopancreatectomy enabled the diagnosis of papillomatosis lined 5.5 cm of the common bile duct which displayed an invasive 1.5 cm papillary carcinoma located in the distal portion of the choledocus. Immunohistochemistry showed strong expression of p53 in the distally located invasive carcinoma and in distant dysplastic lesions. MUC5AC was exclusively detected in both malignant and dysplastic lesions without detection of MUC1 or MUC2. Detection of p53 expression on biliary brush samples could be interesting for the follow-up and the prediction of malignant progression in multifocal biliary papillomatosis.

Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct are rare tumors with fibrovascular stalks arising from the bile duct. It is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively, especially from mucinous cystic neoplasms. The incidence is more common in Asian countries and rare in Western countries.

Background And Aim: This study aims to determine whether endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is a safe and effective treatment for early duodenal papillary carcinoma with long-term follow-up.

Methods: From June 2012 to September 2022, 48 patients with early duodenal papilloma carcinoma who received endoscopic treatment were included. The histological types, percentage of complete resections, postoperative residuals, adverse events, and recurrences were evaluated.

Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) represent a rare variant of biliary tumors characterized by a papillary growth within the bile duct lumen. Since their first description in 2001, several classifications have been proposed, mainly based on histopathological, radiological and clinical features, although no specific guidelines addressing their management have been developed. Bile duct neoplasms generally develop through a multistep process, involving different precursor pathways, ranging from the initial lesion, detectable only microscopically, biliary intraepithelial neoplasia, to the distinctive grades of IPNB until the final stage represented by invasive cholangiocarcinoma.

Biliary papillomatosis (BP) is a rare disorder of the biliary tract characterized by the presence of multiple papillary adenomas spread along the biliary tree. Although benign, it carries a significant risk of malignant transformation. Due to low sensitivity and specificity of conventional radiologic modalities, the diagnosis as well as estimation of disease extent is difficult.

Background: Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare bile duct neoplasm characterized by an intraluminal papillary growth pattern in bile ducts and is considered a biliary counterpart of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas.

Case Description: We report here two cases. (1) A case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with complaints of pain in the abdomen, jaundice, and pruritus.
