Extrahepatic bile duct tumors, 80 per cent of which are adenocarcinomas, are rare neoplasms accounting for less than two per cent of all cancers. Carcinoid tumor of the extrahepatic bile ducts is a reportable lesion, with only approximately 50 cases described in the literature since 1959. We present a case of a primary extrahepatic bile duct carcinoid tumor resected for cure with the longest reported follow-up time (11 years) after surgery. We also summarize the existing literature with regard to this rare tumor. Our case lends strong support to the notion that extrahepatic biliary carcinoids are generally indolent lesions that, if aggressively resected, can result in excellent long-term survival. Complete excision with clear margins seems to provide the best chance of obtaining long-term survival and cure.

ABSTRACT Pancreatitis in dogs may lead to extrahepatic bile duct obstruction as a result of local inflammation. Medical records of 45 client-owned dogs with clinical suspicion of extrahepatic bile duct obstruction secondary to pancreatitis were reviewed to determine clinical findings, outcome, and factors associated with survival. Survival times were determined using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method. Cox multivariable survival methods were employed to determine factors associated with survival time following diagnosis. The median survival time was 241 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 25–631), with 34 of 45 dogs (76%) surviving to discharge. Dogs 9 yr of age or older with azotemia at presentation had a 9.9 greater hazard for death (95% CI 2.5–38.1; P = .001) compared with dogs younger than 9 yr old without azotemia at presentation. Dogs without subjective ultrasonographic gallbladder distension had a 4.4 greater hazard for death (95% CI 1.3–15.4; P = .018) compared with dogs with subjective gallbladder distension. Dogs with a body temperature ≥102.5°F at admission had a 3.1 greater hazard for death (95% CI 1.3–7.7; P = .013) than dogs with a body temperature <102.5°F at admission. This information may help clinicians discuss prognosis with owners of affected dogs.
