OBJECTIVE
To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma.
METHODS
The clinical data of 8 patients of biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma, 3 males and 5 females, aged 55.8 (26 approximately 71), were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS
There were 2 cases of biliary cystadenoma and 6 vases of biliary cystadenocarcinoma confirmed by histopathologic examination. Three patients were found by routine physical examination and the other 5 patients admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain with or without fever. Ultrasound examination was a good choice for primary diagnosis and follow-up, while CT scan was better for the suspected cases. Surgical therapy was a major treatment method and was important for total resection to achieve longer survival time and lower recurrence rate. The results of long-term follow-up were satisfactory if the tumors were resected completely.
CONCLUSIONS
The accurate diagnosis is truly important for the following treatment of biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma. The completely resection of the tumors is the key point to achieve a better outcome.
