Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct have been applied to certain types of papillary tumours occurring in the biliary tract. Although many cases have been sporadically reported, there remain controversies. AIMS: To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and long-term survival of intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct. METHODS: The clinicopathologic data of 52 patients who underwent surgery for intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: In our series, tumours located in intrahepatic and hilar bile duct, rather than in extrahepatic bile duct, were more commonly diagnosed as adenomas or borderline tumours (12/19 and 7/13 vs 6/20; P=0.046). And the gastric type was more commonly associated with adenomas or borderline tumour (85.7%), whilst the pancreaticobiliary type mainly comprised of noninvasive carcinoma or invasive carcinoma (93.8%). However, only the types of treatment (median survival: curative resection: 72 months and palliative groups: 12 months; P<0.001) and histologic grades (adenoma or borderline malignancy vs noninvasive carcinoma: P=0.018) were significantly associated with survival. CONCLUSION: Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct are rare type of biliary neoplasms, long-term survival may be achieved with complete resection. However, further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between these variables like location, cellular types and histologic grades.
