A Case in which an Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the Bile Duct Was Surgically Resected 12 Years after the Initial Diagnosis

A 66-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with multiple giant liver cysts. The cysts had already been detected as multiple 3-cm cysts with small nodules at another hospital 12 years prior to this presentation. The cysts were diagnosed as an intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile d...

Sumario:A 66-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with multiple giant liver cysts. The cysts had already been detected as multiple 3-cm cysts with small nodules at another hospital 12 years prior to this presentation. The cysts were diagnosed as an intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) occupying the right lobe of the liver. Extended right lobectomy was performed. Based on the pathological findings, the tumor was diagnosed to be an oncocytic-type IPNB with minimal invasion. This experience suggests that the progression of IPNBs occur relatively slowly. The present case might provide important information for understanding the natural history of IPNBs.
