Case Report: Multiple Cancers: Hepatocellular carcinoma and adenocarcinomas of the common bile duct and the gall-bladder in a woman with primary biliary cirrhosis

There has been described a previously unrecognized disease of mice, characterized by progressive jaundice, first appearing during the nursing period. This has been shown to be due to congenital absence of the terminal segment of the common bile duct, or to the absence of intrahepatic ducts. In the former case, there is distension of the cystic and hepatic ducts, and of the gall bladder, with mucoid material. Biliary cirrhosis and infarct-like areas of necrosis are commonly found in the liver. The cause of the necroses has not been positively determined, but it is suggested that they result from defective arteriolization of the hepatic parenchyma. Inflammatory lesions of the biliary passages, when present, are attributed to secondary bacterial infection. Protozoan-like parasites were present in the gastric epithelium of all mice examined. Their relationship to the biliary and hepatic lesions is as yet undetermined.

Abstract This is a case report of ascariasis of the common bile duct in a 65-year-old man from Colombia who had undergone prior cholecystectomy. The patient presented with postprandial epigastric pain and a 20-lb weight loss. The laboratory findings were remarkable for peripheral blood eosinophilia. The ultrasound finding was suggestive of periampullary or pancreatic neoplasm. He underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with endoscopic extraction of a motile, live worm identified as Ascaris lumbricoides. Roundworm infestation should always be suspected in immigrants from endemic areas who present with hepatobiliary symptoms.
