    Caroli's disease is a premalignant condition that can develop into cholangiocarcinoma. Early diagnosis of malignancy is challenging, but crucial for patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Caroli's disease is a rare congenital disorder characterized by cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts.
    • It is increasingly recognized as a premalignant condition, with a significant risk of developing cholangiocarcinoma.

    Observation:

    • This study presents four new cases of Caroli's disease complicated by cholangiocarcinoma.
    • Diagnosis of malignancy within the cyst wall is often delayed due to slow development of ductal stenosis signs.
    • Treatment is frequently based on misdiagnosis of recurrent cholangitis.

    Findings:

    • Operative intervention does not improve survival rates when cholangiocarcinoma is present in Caroli's disease.
    • Intraductal and hepatic biopsies are recommended during the initial surgery for Caroli's disease patients.

  • Malignant growth should be suspected in patients with Caroli's disease experiencing cholangitis despite patent anastomoses.

    • Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of malignancy in Caroli's disease is critical.
    • Suspicion of malignancy should be heightened when cholangitis persists despite adequate surgical procedures.
    • Timely diagnosis can prevent unnecessary repeat surgeries for patients with malignant Caroli's disease.
