Abstract:
We report herein the case of a 69-year-old woman with extrahepatic bile duct cancer which had developed superficially along the ductal mucosa without penetrating the fibromuscularis. She underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy; however, micrometastases were found histologically in the regional lymph nodes and she died with involved para-aortic lymph nodes and bone metastases 14 months after the operation.
