Long Term Follow Up

Extrahepatic bile duct tumors, 80 per cent of which are adenocarcinomas, are rare neoplasms accounting for less than two per cent of all cancers. Carcinoid tumor of the extrahepatic bile ducts is a reportable lesion, with only approximately 50 cases described in the literature since 1959. We present a case of a primary extrahepatic bile duct carcinoid tumor resected for cure with the longest reported follow-up time (11 years) after surgery. We also summarize the existing literature with regard to this rare tumor. Our case lends strong support to the notion that extrahepatic biliary carcinoids are generally indolent lesions that, if aggressively resected, can result in excellent long-term survival. Complete excision with clear margins seems to provide the best chance of obtaining long-term survival and cure.

Proximal Bile Duct

The only curative treatment for proximal bile duct cancer with involvement of both main hepatic ducts is liver transplantation. Most patients do not fulfill the requirements for liver transplantation. Our treatment strategy in appropriate cases is palliative tumor resection and reconstruction of the biliary passage by sutureless bilioenteric anastomosis. We have treated 12 patients, 5 in combination with intraluminal and percutaneous radiotherapy. Our results indicate that this strategy leads to effective palliation in some cases provided that only microscopic residual tumor is left in-situ. Our survival times compare favourably with survival after liver transplantation.
