Tumors of the bile ducts
From WikiLectures
Benign tumors[edit | edit source]
- Rare,
- papillomas, polyps - the essence is fibromas, lipomas, granulomas; …,
- they may present as an obstruction and must be removed.
Malign tumors[edit | edit source]
- It is most often a medullary carcinoma.
- They infiltrate the bile duct or are in the papilla (it is difficult to decide whether they come from the bile duct, duodenum or pancreatic duct).
- Unfortunately, it is worse in the upper parts - there they are often diagnosed late (Klatskin's tumor).
- Clinical picture - intermittent painless obstructive jaundice with loss of appetite, weight loss.
- Therapy:
- papilla tumor - hemiduodenopancreatectomy;
- trunk tumors:
- resection and anastomosis of the bile duct to the GIT;
- but more often palliative – choledochoduodenoanastomosis.
