ABSTRACT Extrahepatic bile duct duplication is a rare biliary anomaly often associated with conditions like cholecysto-choledocholithiasis, choledochal cyst and malignancy. Precise preoperative diagnosis using conventional radiologic imaging still remains a challenge and use of existing classification system is equally confusing. A female patient diagnosed with choledochal cyst by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was found to have an associated new variant of double common bile duct during surgery. The variant discovered could not be classified by existing classification systems and was missed by preoperative imaging. Recognition of existence of this anomaly that warrants careful dissection during biliary surgery is necessary to avoid inadvertent biliary injury as preoperative diagnosis still remains a challenge. Review of existing classification systems is required to include newly discovered variants.

A 33-year-old female with a mild elevation of liver transaminase was sent to the general surgery department for medical services due to upper-right abdominal pain for 2 weeks. A liquid dark area ~4 × 3 × 3 cm in size in the theoretical location of the pancreatic segment of the common bile duct was detected by abdominal CT with no enhancement of the cystic wall found in the enhanced CT scan. The patient was then diagnosed with a choledochal cyst based on the results of the radiological images preoperatively. During the operation, the isolated cystic dilatation was found in the middle part of the cystic duct, and its caudal portion was found behind the head of the pancreas and converged into the common bile duct at an acute angle and low insertion. According to the intraoperative evaluation, the female was then diagnosed with a cystic duct cyst (CDC). The surgery was converted to a laparotomy for the unclear structure and the possibility of anatomic variation of the bile duct. The caudal portion of the cystic duct was found communicated with the common bile duct with a narrow base, and the extrahepatic bile duct was not cystic. The CDC was removed in the surgery. One week later, the patient was discharged from the hospital for the disappearance of abdominal pain and normal liver transaminase and did not report any discomfort in the 1-month-long follow-up. The lessons drawn from this case were as follows: (1) the distinction between the relatively frequent choledochal cyst and the isolated CDC should always be taken in mind; (2) a surgical strategy should be given priority for an intraoperatively confirmed CDC; (3) a common bile duct exploration is recommended for patients with choledocholithiasis or jaundice.

Abstract Variants of hepatic duct anomalies are widely discussed in the literature. Duplication producing a double and/or aberrant extrahepatic bile duct is one of the rarest congenital variants that have been sparingly reported. A 71-year-old female presented with right-sided abdominal pain. Computerized tomography demonstrated an enhancing soft tissue thickening in the gastric pylorus with extension into the left lobe of the liver and invasion of the left intrahepatic bile ducts and dilatation of the left intra- and extrahepatic biliary tract. Further examination led to a diagnosis of a double common bile duct with ectopic drainage into the gastric antrum. Recognition of this rare anomaly is of great importance because of the implications in respect of concomitant pathology, the potential short- and long-term sequelae and crucially for operative planning. Failing to appreciate the extent of anomalies may result in significant complications with the attendant morbidity.

AbstractRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common tumor of biliary tree in childhood. Biliary tree is an uncommon site for RMS to occur, accounting for about 1% of all pediatric RMS. A preoperative diagnosis is not difficult with background knowledge of its imaging features. The diagnosis of this malignancy is especially important as it many times mimics a more common and benign condition of choledochal cyst. The key to diagnosis is to distinguish solid component of the tumor from organized sludge seen in choledochal cyst. Imaging plays a vital role for preoperative staging as well.

Abstract Biliary dilation is common in clinical practice and originates from many pathologies; among them, choledocholithiasis, chronic pancreatitis and periampullary diverticula (PAD) are the most common. Popular signs of cholelithiasis is diffuse dilatation of the intra- and extrahepatic bile duct, however, in some cases, it might be local dilatation of the common bile duct without intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. The long-term outcome is favorable, however, it is necessary to rule out other causes such as choledochal cyst, pancreatitis by frozen section in order to have a proper diagnosis and treatment. We describe a 19-year-old female patient with local dilation of the common bile duct due to choledocholithiasis that was operated laparoscopically with success. Key word: Local common bile duct dilation, gallstones, choledochal cyst, laparoscopy. Tóm tắt Giãn đường mật là một hình thái tổn thương hay gặp trên lâm sàng, do nhiều bệnh lý khác nhau, hay gặp nhất là sỏi ống mật chủ (OMC), viêm tụy mạn và túi thừa Vater 1. Dấu hiệu phổ biến của sỏi mật là giãn đường mật trong và ngoài gan lan tỏa, tuy nhiên có trường hợp OMC giãn đơn thuần không kèm theo giãn đường mật trong gan. Tiên lượng của bệnh này là tốt, tuy nhiên cần loại trừ các nguyên nhân như nang OMC, viêm tụy bằng sinh thiết tức thì để có chẩn đoán và điều trị phù hợp nhất. Chúng tôi xin báo cáo một trường hợp người bệnh (NB) nữ, 19 tuổi mắc sỏi mật gây giãn OMC khu trú dạng nang được phẫu thuật nội soi thành công. Từ khóa: Giãn đường mật khu trú, sỏi mật, nang ống mật chủ, phẫu thuật nội soi.

Background: Biliary disease is one of the most common surgical problems encountered all over the world. Ultrasound is widely accepted for the diagnosis of biliary system disease. However, it is a highly operator dependent imaging modality and its diagnostic success is also influenced by the situation, such as non-fasting, obesity, intestinal gas. Objective: To compare the ultrasonographic findings with the peroperative findings in biliary surgery. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in General Hospital, comilla between the periods of July 2006 to June 2008 among 300 patients with biliary diseases for which operative treatment is planned. Comparison between sonographic findings with operative findings was performed. Results: Right hypochondriac pain and jaundice were two significant symptoms (93% and 15%). Right hypochondriac tenderness, jaundice and palpable gallbladder were most valuable physical findings (respectively, 40%, 15% and 5%). Out of 252 ultrasonically positive gallbladder, stone were confirmed in 249 cases preoperatively. Sensitivity of USG in diagnosis of gallstone disease was 100%. There was, however, 25% false positive rate detection. Specificity was, however, 75% in this case. USG could demonstrate stone in common bile duct in only 12 out of 30 cases. Sensitivity of the test in diagnosing common bile duct stone was 40%, false negative rate 60%. In the series, ultrasonography sensitivity was 100% in diagnosing stone in cystic duct. USG could detect with relatively good but less sensitivity the presence of chronic cholecystitis (92.3%) and worm inside gallbladder (50%). Conclusion: Ultrasonography is the most important investigation in the diagnosis of biliary disease and a useful test for patients undergoing operative management for planning and anticipating technical difficulties.

Abstract Background Extrahepatic bile duct duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly in which two common bile ducts exist. There are five different types of this anomaly and we present an unusual variant of duplication of an extrahepatic biliary system of type Va variety. Case presentation This case report describes a 63-year-old women from rural Nepal who presented with type Va of duplicated extrahepatic bile duct, with chronic calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis. She was managed with cholecystectomy with hepatic ductoplasty and hepaticojejunostomy. Conclusion A rare case of double common bile duct (type Va) complicated by choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, and chronic cholecystitis is reported here. Rare cases are sometimes overlooked by modern diagnostic techniques. Correct diagnosis helps appropriate surgical intervention.

Duodenum mucinous carcinoma is very rare, and the prognosis of the patient is very bad, especially when the tumor is invasive to other organs. In this case, duodenum carcinoma was invasive to common bile duct and transverse colon. Mucinous fluid, which was secreted from a duodenum tumor, was found in the dilatated bile duct. The intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct was considered a differential diagnosis. We performed aggressive resection and had a good prognosis. A 74-year-old woman received a diagnosis of cholangitis and was treated with antibiotic drugs. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed a defect in the lower common bile duct with the mucoid fluid. We suspected intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct, but no malignant cells were detected. One year later, gastrointestinal fiberscopy revealed a villous tumor in the postbulbar portion of the duodenum; adenocarcinoma was detected in biopsy specimens. Computed tomography revealed dilatation of the duodenum with an enhanced tumor, and dilatation of both the common and intrahepatic bile ducts. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed that the duodenum was connected with the common bile duct and ascending colon. We resected the segmental duodenum, extrahepatic bile duct, left lobe of liver, a partial of the transverse colon, and associated lymph nodes. Although the advanced duodenal carcinoma had poor prognosis, the patient was alive, without recurrence, 5 years after the operation.

A young adult male presented with biliary colic and intermittent jaundice for 1 year. Abdomen findings were unremarkable. Routine investigations revealed a raised total bilirubin. On abdominal ultrasonography, common bile duct (CBD) dilatation with multiple stones was noted. On further imaging with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, type I choledochal cyst (CDC) was suspected. A laparoscopic approach was planned. Intraoperatively, dilatation of cystic duct was noted which constitute type VI CDC. Partial malrotation of the gut and accessory right hepatic artery were also noted as incidental finding. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with CBD exploration and removal of stones, biliary stent placement, cystic duct cyst excision and primary repair of CBD was done. Postoperatively, the patient improved symptomatically with a fall in bilirubin to normal range. We are describing the laparoscopic management of a rare case of type IV CDC which was diagnosed intraoperatively.
