Abstract:
The patient was an 81-year-old man who was hospitalized with poor appetite and obstructive jaundice. An abdominal CT scan showed remarkable thickening of the wall from the cystic duct to extrahepatic bile duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography( ERCP)revealed stricture at the extrahepatic bile duct. Cholangiocarcinoma was diagnosed and pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The patient was stable after the operation. We present a case report describing the resection of DLBCL of the extrahepatic bile duct along with a review of the literature.
