CESPEDES RODRIGUEZ, Héctor Alejandro; RUIZ DE VILLA SUAREZ, Abel and TELLO DUANES, Daniel Alejandro. Biliary Cystadenocarcinoma. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2023, vol.62, n.3 Epub Sep 01, 2023. ISSN 1561-2945.
Introduction:
Biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare cystic tumor, which originates from the hepatobiliary epithelium, whose growth is slow, and whose symptoms are variable and nonspecific.
Objective:
To present the case of a patient with a biliary cystadenocarcinoma.
Case presentation:
The case is presented of a 56-year-old female patient who came to our institution with pain in the right hypochondrium, fever and weight loss. Physical examination revealed a palpable mass in such abdominal area, with smooth edges, nonpainful, hard, with low mobility and related to the liver.
Conclusions:
Biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare malignant cystic neoplasm of the liver. Most patients present with abdominal pain, a palpable mass and weight loss. Surgery is the standard treatment and margin-free resection is considered the most commonly employed treatment variant.
Keywords : biliary cystadenocarcinoma; biliary cystadenoma; cystic tumors of the liver.
