Biliary cystadenocarcinoma, a rare liver neoplasm, presents diagnostic challenges. This case highlights malignant transformation of a benign liver cyst into cystadenocarcinoma after prior surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare malignant liver neoplasm.
  • Preoperative diagnosis is often challenging, even with advanced imaging like ultrasonography.
  • This report details a case with a history of prior liver cyst surgery.

Observation:

  • A 78-year-old male presented with recurrent cholangitis and obstructive jaundice.
  • The patient had undergone partial resection of a benign liver cyst 11 years prior.
  • These symptoms necessitated a reoperation involving a right hepatectomy.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination of the resected specimen confirmed biliary cystadenocarcinoma.
  • The findings indicated a malignant transformation from the previously benign liver cyst.

  • This underscores the potential for malignant change in cystic liver lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of long-term surveillance for patients with a history of liver cysts.
    • Suggests that biliary cystadenocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrent biliary issues post-cyst surgery.
    • Emphasizes the need for accurate preoperative diagnosis to guide surgical management of liver neoplasms.
