AI Article Synopsis
- The biliary system is a rare location for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), with the common hepatic duct being an even less common site for such tumors.
- Diagnosing these NETs can be difficult because they can resemble Klatskin-like lesions on imaging studies.
- A case is presented involving a 64-year-old woman with a grade 2 NET in the common hepatic duct, who underwent successful curative surgery with no signs of recurrence at a 2-month follow-up.
Article Abstract
The biliary system is an uncommon location for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), and within this system, the common hepatic duct is an even more rare site for NETs. Clinical and radiological presentations are challenging because these tumours may be preoperatively confused with Klatskin-like lesions. Here we report a well-differentiated grade 2 NET arising from the common hepatic duct in a 64-year-old female. Curative surgery was performed, and no evidence of recurrent disease was observed at the 2-months follow-up.
