Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver with biliary prolapse.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To describe the prevalence, clinical and radiological findings of biliary prolapse in pathologically proven mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L).

Methods

Thirty-four patients, all female with median age 50 years (range, 14-82), with histologically confirmed MCN-L were enrolled. Median tumor size was 9 cm (range, 2-21 cm). Fifty-seven examinations (17 ultrasound, 25 CT, and 15 MR) among 34 MCN-Ls were reviewed. Two radiologists retrospectively assessed images for tumor location, size and other morphological features of the tumor, presence of biliary prolapse and upstream bile duct dilatation. Ultrasound, CT, and MR were assessed separately. Clinical features were evaluated. Clinical and radiological characteristics of MCN-L with and without biliary prolaps
