  • The most common type is extrahepatic, and the least common type is the intrahepatic tumor. (picmonic.com)
  • ROLE OF IMAGING BEFORE PALLIATIVE BILIARY DRAINAGE Because the method of management of malignant biliary obstruction depends on the resectability of the underlying tumor, patients should undergo accurate staging of the disease. (kipdf.com)
  • Traditionally, the disease is treated with resection, surgically removing the tumor, but in many cases the cancer tends to continue to spread around the bile duct. (blogspot.com)
  • Over the subsequent days and weeks, the tumor cells die and the bile ducts are opened. (blogspot.com)
  • Tests will be done to check for a tumor or blockage in the bile duct. (medlineplus.gov)

  • Stenting, augmentation and balloning of benign and malignant esophageal strictures. (mknc.ru)
  • Laparoscopic resection of the extrahepatic bile ducts for malignant neoplasms and benign strictures. (mknc.ru)
  • The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively review the application of FCSEMS in benign and malignant biliary strictures, biliary leak, and post-sphincterotomy bleeding. (wjgnet.com)
  • Malignant neoplasms show a greater degree of anaplasia and have the properties of invasion and metastasis, compared to benign neoplasms. (lookformedical.com)
  • The term neoplasm includes both benign and malignant "new growths) A carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of epithelial cells. (imperial.ac.uk)
Hepatocellular2
  • Sometimes, this malignant disease is confused with cancers that occur in the liver, which medical researchers call hepatocellular carcinomas. (newhopemedicalcenter.com)
  • Liver cancer includes two major types: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic bile duct cancer. (oncolink.org)
Neoplasms1
  • Only 12% of all malignant duodenal neoplasms are duodenal lymphomas [3]. (eurorad.org)
Strictures9
  • Own experience of performing non-vascular interventional interventions for mechanical jaundice (external, external-internal drainage, stenting of bile duct strictures). (mknc.ru)
  • BILIARY DRAINAGE FOR MALIGNANT STRICTURES Biliary obstruction is potentially fatal because of the adverse pathologic effects including depressed immunity, impaired phagocytic activity, reduced Kupffer cell function, and paucity of bile salts reaching the gut, with consequent endotoxemia, septicemia, and renal failure. (kipdf.com)
  • The majority of strictures of the mid and lower common bile ducts, which are mainly caused by carcinoma of the head of the pancreas, can be drained effectively by the endoscopic approach.5 Many hilar biliary strictures are difficult to treat endoscopically, however, and are best dealt with interventional radiologic techniques.6 The indications for PTBD are summarized in Table 15.1. (kipdf.com)
  • In the absence of symptoms of the primary disease, most patients with bile duct strictures remain asymptomatic until the lumen of the bile duct is sufficiently narrowed to cause resistance to the flow of bile. (medscape.com)
  • In the absence of previous instrumentation, cholangitis is uncommon with malignant strictures. (medscape.com)
  • The etiology of bile duct strictures is sometimes obvious at the time of presentation. (medscape.com)
  • This history provides valuable clues regarding the underlying disease and may prove useful in guiding management of patients with bile duct strictures. (medscape.com)
  • Asymptomatic patients with bile duct strictures may have unremarkable physical examination findings. (medscape.com)
  • Patients with a major surgical injury to the bile duct and those with recurrent strictures and interventions may have evidence of a bile leak in the form of a biliary fistula, biliary peritonitis, or a biloma. (medscape.com)
Jaundice3
Tumors5
  • [ 16 ] Disadvantages of MRCP include its inability to distend the duct and equivocal findings because of long segments and minimal narrowing in diffuse sclerosing tumors. (medscape.com)
  • These tumors block off the bile ducts. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Tumors of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and ampulla. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA). (lookformedical.com)
  • Tumors located at the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts with the proximal common hepatic duct are called Klatskin tumors. (medscape.com)
Neoplasm of epithelial1
Obstruction4
  • The most common cause of malignant biliary obstruction is pancreatic adenocarcinoma . (medscape.com)
  • INTRODUCTION Interventional radiologists first became involved in the management of malignant obstruction of the biliary tree in the late 1960s, when Kaude et al.1 introduced nonsurgical biliary drainage. (kipdf.com)
  • Insidious weight loss may suggest malignant obstruction. (medscape.com)
  • Cholangitis occurs in the presence of partial or complete obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD), with increased intraluminal pressures, bacterial infection of the bile with multiplication of the organisms within the duct, and seeding of the bloodstream with bacteria or endotoxin. (medscape.com)
Cancer13
Hepatic ducts3
  • The cyst was located at the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts and involved all of the common hepatic duct. (northwestern.edu)
  • The entire cyst was resected except for the patch containing 3 duct orifices: the opening of both hepatic ducts as well as the orifice leading to the common bile duct. (northwestern.edu)
  • A Roux-en-Y cyst jejunostomy was created to allow drainage of both left and right hepatic ducts. (northwestern.edu)
Dilatation2
Malignancy1
  • Gallbladder carcinoma is 9 times more common than bile duct malignancy. (medscape.com)

  • About 5 to 10 percent of all bile duct cancers are intrahepatic, and conventional medicine often addresses them similarly to liver carcinoma. (newhopemedicalcenter.com)

  • The connection also provided access to the cyst remnant through the common duct for future endoscopic monitoring of potential malignant transformation. (northwestern.edu)
Choledochal2
Transformation1
  • This inflammation induces cellular proliferation and hyperplasia, which leads to malignant transformation. (picmonic.com)

Small2
  • The bile duct is a thin tube, about four to five inches long, that reaches from the liver to the small intestine. (blogspot.com)
  • The major function of the bile duct is to move a fluid called bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine, where it helps digest the fats in foods. (blogspot.com)
