Abstract
|
|
|
Carcinoid tumors which arise from enterochromaffin cells are usually found in the appendix, ileum, bronchus and rectum. Carcinoid tumors of the biliary tract are exceedingly rare and pre-operative diagnosis is very difficult.
We report a case of carcinoid tumor of the gallbladder in a 43-year-old man presenting jaundice and right upper quadrant abdominal pain as a chief complaint. A tumor of the neck of gallbladder was demonstrated with ultrasonography, computed
tomography,
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and percutaneous cholangiography and was confirmed as carcinoid tumor at operation.
