    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old woman presented with jaundice. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, cholangiography via a percutaneous transhepatic biliary, drainage catheter, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy were performed to alleviate the jaundice and to evaluate her biliary system. A diffuse-type tumor was detected in the common bile duct. The tumor had spread superficially up to the right anterior segmental duct and the left hepatic duct and involved the caudate branches. Curative surgery, which included a right anterior segmentectomy, total caudate lobectomy, and pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, was performed. The histopathologic diagnosis was moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma originating at the common bile duct. The extent of the superficial spread of the tumor corresponded to our preoperative determination. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful. In this case report, we discuss the accurate preoperative diagnosis and rational surgical treatment of bile duct carcinoma with superficial spread.
