Sumario: | A 51-year-old woman who presented with a large cystic liver tumor with mural nodules in the lateral segment developed Trousseau's syndrome. A mural nodule directly invaded her liver parenchyma. Metastatic nodules were detected in the right lobe and portal/paraaortic lymph nodes. The pathological findings showed mucin-producing adenocarcinoma cells to have invaded the fibrous stroma forming a micropapillary cluster. She developed obstructive jaundice due to tumor progression and subsequently died of hepatic failure. Invasive biliary mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) is a rare form of a malignant tumor with a relatively favorable prognosis. This is a very rare case biliary MCN with invasive carcinoma that showed intrahepatic and lymph node metastases. |
