  • Title: [Biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma].
    Author: Dagradi A, Mangiante G, Musajo FG, Nicoli N, Marchiori L, Briani GF, Benati G, Asnicar A, Costa V, Mainente M.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 1990; 42(3-4):100-8. PubMed ID: 2101337.
    Abstract:
    The authors present their experience with 5 biliary cystadenomas (BCA) and 1 cystadenocarcinoma (BCAC). BCA are rare but intriguing lesions of the liver for the possibility of the former to evolve into malignant lesion. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult also at ultrasound and CT scan. The possibility of BCA and BCAC should be always ruled out in every cystic lesion of the liver. In every doubt lesion surgical exploration is indicated and at least a biopsy should be performed. The procedure of choice for BCA is radical resection, while palliative procedures may be justified only in poor risk patients.
