  • Title: The clinical spectrum of anomalous pancreatobiliary junction.
    Author: Kochhar R, Nagi B, Chawla S, Das K, Rao KL, Mitra SK, Mehta SK.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 1989; 3(2):83-6. PubMed ID: 2772805.
    Abstract:
    Anomalous junction of pancreatobiliary ducts (AJPB) is known to be associated with choledochal cyst and gallbladder cancer. This report describes our experience with eight patients with AJPB, six of whom were diagnosed at endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and two at transhepatic cholangiography. Four of the patients with AJPB had an associated congenital choledochal cyst, two had a normal biliary tree and one each had inspissated bile syndrome and cholangiocarcinoma. The last two associations have not been previously described. It is felt that the clinical spectrum of AJPB may unfold further with the widespread use of the cholangiographic techniques.
