MARCOS-RAMIREZ, Edson R. et al. Cystic carcinoma, a clinical case. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.4, pp.542-546.  Epub Nov 03, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000275.

Primary cystic duct carcinoma is a rare tumor and comprises 0.1% to 0.2% of carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a male with weight loss and jaundice. Evidence is shown by imaging of intrahepatic and extrahepatic duct dilatation conditioned by extrinsic bile duct compression. An endoscopic retrograde pancreatic cholangiography was performed confirming the compression, so a surgical exploration was preformed showing a tumor of the cystic duct, a cholecystectomy with resection of regional lymph nodes, as well as a hepatic-jejunal anastomosis. The tumor is reported as cystic duct carcinoma without lymph node involvement.
