Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Carcinoid tumor arising in the cystic duct is extremely rare. This is the 23rd case reported in English literature.
Case Report: A case of carcinoid tumor in the cystic duct of a 68-year old lady is described that was found incidentally after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion: Presentation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are discussed based on the review of the reported cases. It usually presents with biliary symptoms and the diagnosis is incidental. Radical resection and follow up are recommended because of its malignant potential. | |
