Biliary Cystadenoma: A Case Report With Review Of Literature

Abstract

Arare case of mucinous biliary cystadenoma presented as an upper abdominal mass
and progressively increasing jaundice in a 45 years old female. A free lying component of the
cystadenoma producing obstruction was present in the common bile duct. Marsupialization of
outer cyst with electro-coagulation of its epithelium and excision of inner cysts was performed as a
palliative procedure. Diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology with positive estrogen receptors.
Postoperative treatment with 20 mg Tamoxifen produced good results without any evidence of
recurrence or progression even 30 months after the surgery.
