Adenosquamous Carcinoma of Lower Extrahepatic Biliary Tract: A case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Adenosquamous carcinoma, consisting of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, rarely occurs in the extrahepatic bile duct. Due to nonspecific imaging findings, preoperative diagnosis of adenosquamous carcinoma depends exclusively on brushing cytology or biopsy performed under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, correct diagnosis before surgical resection is challenging in some patients. Here, we report the case of a patient with adenosquamous carcinoma in the lower extrahepatic bile tract diagnosed using brushing cytology under ERCP. Keywords: Adenosquamous carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
