Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a heterogeneous disease similar to intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas. These lesions have been recognized as one of the three major precancerous lesions in the biliary tract since 2010. In 2018, Japanese and Korean pathologists reached a consensus, classifying IPNBs into type l and type 2 IPNBs. IPNBs are more prevalent in male patients in East Asia and are closely related to diseases such as cholelithiasis and schistosomiasis. From a molecular genetic perspective, IPNBs exhibit early genetic variations, and different molecular pathways may be involved in the tumorigenesis of type 1 and type 2 IPNBs. The histological subtypes of IPNBs include gastric, intestinal, pancreaticobiliary, or oncocytic subtypes, but type 1 IPNBs typically exhibit more regular and well-organized histological features than type 2 IPNBs and are more commonly found in the intrahepatic bile ducts with abundant mucin. Due to the rarity of these lesions and the absence of specific clinical and laboratory features, imaging is crucial for the preoperative diagnosis of IPNB, with local bile duct dilation and growth along the bile ducts being the main imaging features. Surgical resection remains the optimal treatment for IPNBs, but negative bile duct margins and the removal of lymph nodes in the hepatic hilum significantly improve the postoperative survival rates for patients with IPNBs.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Tumoral (grossly visible) intraductal neoplasms of the bile ducts are still being characterized. OBJECTIVE.— To investigate their morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features. DESIGN.— Forty-one cases were classified as gastric-, intestinal-, pancreatobiliary-type intraductal papillary neoplasm (IPN), intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm (IOPN), or intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) on the basis of histology. All neoplasms were subjected to targeted next-generation sequencing. RESULTS.— The mean age at diagnosis was 69 years (42-81 years); male to female ratio was 1.3. Most neoplasms (n = 23, 56%) were extrahepatic/large (mean size, 4.6 cm). The majority (n = 32, 78%) contained high-grade dysplasia, and 68% (n = 28) revealed invasion. All gastric-type IPNs (n = 9) and most ITPNs/IOPNs showed consistent colabeling for CK7/MUC6, which was less common among others (P = .004). Intestinal-type IPNs (n = 5) showed higher rates of CK20 expression than others (P < .001). Overall, the most commonly mutated genes included TP53 and APC, while copy number variants affected ELF3 and CDKN2A/B. All gastric-type IPNs contained an alteration affecting the Wnt signaling pathway; 7 of 9 (78%) showed aberrations in the MAPK pathway. Mutations in APC and KRAS were common in gastric-type IPNs as compared with others (P = .01 for both). SMAD4 was more frequently mutated in intestinal-type IPNs (P = .02). Pancreatobiliary-type IPNs (n = 14) exhibited frequent alterations in tumor suppressor genes including TP53, CDKN2A/B, and ARID2 (P = .04, P = .01 and P = .002, respectively). Of 6 IOPNs analyzed, 3 (50%) revealed ATP1B1-PRKACB fusion. ITPNs (n = 6) showed relatively few recurrent genetic aberrations. Follow-up information was available for 38 patients (median, 58.5 months). The ratio of disease-related deaths was higher for the cases with invasion (56% versus 10%). CONCLUSIONS.— Tumoral intraductal neoplasms of the bile ducts, similar to their counterparts in the pancreas, are morphologically and genetically heterogeneous.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary adenomas that occur in the extrahepatic biliary tree are rare. It is difficult to distinguish it from cholangiocarcinoma or cholangiolithiasis by various imaging examinations, and it is very easy to be misdiagnosed. AIM To evaluate the cumulative experiences including clinical characteristics and treatments of nine patients diagnosed with extrahepatic biliary adenoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2016 to 2022. METHODS A total of nine patients were included in our study. The laboratory examinations, disease diagnosis, therapy and pathological characteristics, and follow-up of every patient were evaluated. RESULTS Our cohort consisted of six females and three males with an average diagnosis age of 65.1 years (range 46-87). Six extrahepatic biliary adenomas were located in the common bile ducts and three in the hepatic duct. On initial presentation, all of the patients have symptom of biliary origin, including obstructive jaundice (4/9, 44.4%), abdominal pain (6/9, 66.7%), and fever (3/9, 33.3%). Preoperative imaging examination considered bile duct carcinoma in 6 cases and bile duct calculi in 3 cases. All the patients received surgical treatment and were confirmed by pathology as biliary adenoma. The symptoms improved significantly in all 9 patients after surgery. Seven of nine patients recovered well at follow-up without tumor recurrence. One patient died 2 mo after the surgery due to heart failure. One patient developed jaundice again 8 mo after surgery, underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and biliary stent placement. CONCLUSION Benign extrahepatic biliary tumors are rare and difficult to diagnosis preoperatively. Intraoperative choledochoscopy and timely biopsy may offer great advantages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a relatively rare disease and is known as one of the premalignant lesions in the biliary tract. The concept of IPNB has changed through numerous studies and is still evolving. As a lesser studied clinical entity compared with its pancreatic counterpart, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, IPNB has been described in many similar terms, including biliary papillomatosis, biliary intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasm, and papillary cholangiocarcinoma. This is based on the diversity of histopathological spectrum of IPNB. METHODS This review investigated previous studies including original articles, case studies, and expert opinions. Recently, two types of IPNB (types 1 and 2) have been proposed and validated based on the content first established in the WHO 2010 criteria. RESULTS This review provides a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, summarizing the clinical, radiological, morphological, and pathological characteristics of IPNB. CONCLUSION Given the ongoing ambiguity and controversies surrounding IPNB, future research, including large population-based studies and molecular investigations, is essential to enhance understanding of this disease.

Abstract
An intraductal papillary neoplasm involving the biliary tree is an unusual premalignant condition of epithelial origin, identified by its cystic dilatation of the biliary channels. Being a slow-growing tumor, surgery offers the best curative rate, especially in the setting of a low-grade disease. Here, we present a case of a localized, low-grade, intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), residing in the liver, which was treated with resection of the liver lobe. The adjuvant treatment and prognosis highly depend upon the presence of dysplasia or a co-existent invasive malignancy. To the best of our knowledge, being a rare entity, this is the first case to be reported from Pakistan.

Abstract
Background Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct is a rare variant of bile duct tumors, which is characterized by papillary or villous growth inside the bile duct. Having papillary and mucinous features such as those found in pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is extremely rare. We report a rare case of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the intrahepatic bile duct. Case report A 65-year-old male Caucasian with multiple comorbidities presented to the emergency room with moderate constant pain at the right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdomen for the last several hours. On physical examination, he was found to have normal vital signs, with icteric sclera and pain on deep palpation at the RUQ region. His laboratory results were significant for jaundice, elevated liver function tests and creatinine, hyperglycemia, and leukocytosis. Multiple imaging studies revealed a 5 cm heterogeneous mass in the left hepatic lobe that demonstrated areas of internal enhancement, mild gall bladder wall edema, dilated gall bladder with mild sludge, and 9 mm common bile duct (CBD) dilatation without evidence of choledocholithiasis. He underwent a CT-guided biopsy of this mass, which revealed intrahepatic papillary mucinous neoplasm. This case was discussed at the hepatobiliary multidisciplinary conference, and the patient underwent an uneventful robotic left partial liver resection, cholecystectomy, and lymphadenectomy. Conclusion IPMN of the biliary tract may represent a carcinogenesis pathway different from that of CBD carcinoma arising from flat dysplasia. Complete surgical resection should be performed whenever possible because of its significant risk of harboring invasive carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare disease in Western countries. The main aim of this study was to characterize current surgical strategies and outcomes in the mainly European participating centers. METHODS A multi-institutional retrospective series of patients with a diagnosis of IPNB undergoing surgery between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2020 was gathered under the auspices of the European-African Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association. The textbook outcome (TO) was defined as a non-prolonged length of hospital stay plus the absence of any Clavien-Dindo grade at least III complications, readmission, or mortality within 90 postoperative days. RESULTS A total of 28 centers contributed 85 patients who underwent surgery for IPNB. The median age was 66 years (55-72), 49.4% were women, and 87.1% were Caucasian. Open surgery was performed in 72 patients (84.7%) and laparoscopic in 13 (15.3%). TO was achieved in 54.1% of patients, reaching 63.8% after liver resection and 32.0% after pancreas resection. Median overall survival was 5.72 years, with 5-year overall survival of 63% (95% CI: 50-82). Overall survival was better in patients with Charlson comorbidity score 4 or less versus more than 4 ( P =0.016), intrahepatic versus extrahepatic tumor ( P =0.027), single versus multiple tumors ( P =0.007), those who underwent hepatic versus pancreatic resection ( P =0.017), or achieved versus failed TO ( P =0.029). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that not achieving TO (HR: 4.20; 95% CI: 1.11-15.94; P =0.03) was an independent prognostic factor of poor overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing liver resection for IPNB were more likely to achieve a TO outcome than those requiring a pancreatic resection. Comorbidity, tumor location, and tumor multiplicity influenced overall survival. TO was an independent prognostic factor of overall survival.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare disease that occurs anywhere along the bile duct. The disease predominantly occurs in Far East Asia and is very rarely diagnosed and documented in western countries. IPNB presents similarly to obstructive biliary pathology; however, patients can be asymptomatic. Surgical resection of IPNB lesions is crucial for patient survival because IPNB is precancerous and can transform into cholangiocarcinoma. Although potentially curative by excision with negative margins, patients who are diagnosed with IPNB need close monitoring for de novo recurrence of IPNB or other pancreatic-biliary neoplasms. In this case, we present an asymptomatic non-Hispanic Caucasian male who was diagnosed with IPNB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare premalignant neoplasm that can progress to invasive adenocarcinoma. In this retrospective study, cases of IPNB were reviewed to examine cytomorphologic and molecular features. METHODS IPNB cytology cases with histopathologic confirmation were retrieved from the pathology archives. The cytomorphologic features such as cellularity, architecture, cell type, and cellular details were analyzed. RESULTS The cohort included 13 cases (six brushings, six fine-needle aspirations [FNA], and one combined brushing and FNA). The lesions involved common bile duct in nine cases (69%) and hepatic duct in four cases (31%). Original cytological diagnoses included adenocarcinoma (five, 38%), suspicious for adenocarcinoma (one, 8%), neoplasm (three, 23%), atypical (three, 23%), and reactive (one, 8%). The cytomorphologic features included moderate/high cellularity (12, 92%), papillary and/or complex papillary architecture (10, 77%), columnar cells (11, 85%), vacuolated cytoplasm (12, 92%), enlarged nuclei (13, 100%), and fine granular chromatin (12, 92%). Background mucin, necrosis and acute inflammation were seen in four (31%), four (31%), and two (15%) cases, respectively. KRAS testing was performed in nine cases with mutant KRAS found in five (56%). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that IPNB cytology specimens were relatively cellular with a wide spectrum of cytomorphology; however, most cases harbored adenocarcinoma or high-grade dysplasia. The characteristic cytomorphologic features included papillary/complex papillary clusters of columnar cells with vacuolated cytoplasm, enlarged nuclei, and fine granular chromatin in relatively cellular specimens. KRAS mutations identified may have potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

Clinicopathological Features and Long-Term Outcomes of Intraductal Papillary Neoplasms of the Bile Duct of the Liver: Single-Institution Experience with 146 Patients. J Gastrointest Surg 2022; 26:1394-1405.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) has a wide range of histopathology and intra- and extrahepatic tumor locations. METHODS This retrospective single-center study evaluated the clinicopathological features and long-term outcomes of 146 patients with IPNB of the liver (IPNB-L) who underwent hepatic resection between January 2002 and June 2019. RESULTS The 146 patients included 97 (66.4%) men and 49 (33.6%) women, of mean age 64.3 ± 8.0 years. Seventy-two (49.3%) patients were incidentally diagnosed, with no specific symptoms, and 18 (12.3%) were found to have hepatolithiasis. Sixty-one (41.8%) and two (1.4%) patients underwent concurrent bile duct resection and pancreaticoduodenectomy, respectively, and 130 (89.0%) underwent R0 resection. Low-grade and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and invasive carcinoma were identified in 26 (17.8%), 50 (34.2%), and 70 (47.9%) patients, respectively. Five-year tumor recurrence and patient survival rates were 8.4% and 93.9%, respectively, in patients with high-grade neoplasia; and 41.5% and 72.3%, respectively, in patients with invasive carcinoma. CA19-9 > 37 U/mL and R1 resection were independent risk factors for tumor recurrence and reduced survival in patients with carcinoma. The combination of hypermetabolic fluorodeoxy-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) or elevated CA19-9 showed a sensitivity of 91.8% and a specificity of 61.9% for the prediction of IPNB-L with high-grade neoplasia and carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS IPNB-L is a rare type of intrahepatic biliary neoplasm that can range histologically from benign disease to invasive carcinoma. Surgical curability is the most important prognostic factor, thus aggressive resection is highly recommended to achieve R0 resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) rarely recurs in a multicentric manner. We encountered a patient with multiple recurrences of the gastric subtype of IPNB one year after spontaneous detachment of the primary tumor during peroral cholangioscopy (POCS).
CASE SUMMARY A 68-year-old woman on maintenance hemodialysis because of lupus nephritis had several cardiovascular diseases and a pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). She was referred to our department for dilation of the common bile duct (CBD) and a tumor in the lumen, detected using ultrasonography. She had no complaints, and blood tests of hepatobiliary enzymes were normal. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed a papillary tumor in the CBD with a filling defect detected using endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC). Intraductal ultrasonography revealed a papillary tumor and stalk at the CBD. During POCS, the tumor spontaneously detached with its stalk into the CBD. Pathology showed low-intermediate nuclear atypia of the gastric subtype of IPNB. After 1 year, follow-up MRCP showed multiple tumors distributed from the left hepatic duct to the CBD. ERC and POCS showed multicentric tumors. She was alive without hepatobiliary symptoms at least two years after initial diagnosis of IPNB.
CONCLUSION The patient experienced gastric subtype of IPNB without curative resection. Observation may be reasonable for patients with this subtype.

Recurrent intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct due to intraductal dissemination: a case report and literature review. Surg Case Rep 2021; 7:238. [PMID: 34739634 PMCID: PMC8571435 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-021-01318-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a subtype of biliary tumor. The 5-year survival rate of patients with IPNB who underwent curative resection is 81%. However, IPNB is known to often recur in other parts of the bile duct. Nevertheless, its mechanism remains poorly understood. Herein, we report the case of a patient with recurrent IPNB, which was considered to be attributed to intraductal dissemination in the common bile duct at 12 months after curative resection. We also made a review of the existing literature. Case presentation A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital for the evaluation and dilation of an intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) mass. Computed tomography (CT) findings confirmed a mass in the left hepatic duct. Left trisectionectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection with biliary reconstruction, and regional lymph node dissection were performed. Intraoperative examination of the resection margin at the common bile duct and posterior segmental branch of the hepatic duct was negative for the presence of malignant cells. Histologically, the tumor showed intraductal papillary growth of the mucinous epithelium and was diagnosed as non-invasive IPNB. It had a papillary structure with atypical epithelial cells lined up along the neoplastic fibrovascular stalks. Immunohistochemically, this was as a gastric-type lesion. At 12 postoperative months, CT revealed a 1.5-cm mass in the lower remnant common bile duct. We performed subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. The tumor exhibited papillary growth and was microscopically and immunohistochemically similar to the first tumor. At approximately 16 months after the patient’s second discharge, CT showed an abdominal mass at the superior mesenteric plexus, which was diagnosed as recurrent IPNB. Chemotherapy is ongoing, and the patient is still alive. In this case, as described in many previous reports, IPNB recurred below the primary lesion in the bile duct. Conclusion Based on our review of previous reports on IPNB recurrence, intraductal dissemination was considered one of the mechanisms underlying recurrence after multicentric development. Considering the high frequency and oncological conversion of recurrence in IPNB, regular follow-up examination is essential to achieve better prognosis in patients with recurrent IPNB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile-duct (IPNB) has recently been further subclassified into "so-called IPNBs" (Type-1) and "narrow-sense papillary cholangiocarcinomas" (Type-2), but their differential diagnosis is challenging. This study aimed to reevaluate Type-1 and Type-2 IPNBs. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent papillary bile-duct tumor resection were included. Using six pathological features (location, mucin secretion, histological architecture, histological type, presence of a low/intermediate-dysplasia component, and proportion of the invasive component), all papillary tumors were scored. Tumors scoring 5-6 were classified as Type-1, 0-1 as Type-2, and 2-4 as Type-Unclassifiable. RESULTS The 181 papillary bile-duct tumor patients were divided into three groups, consisting of 12 Type-1, 46 Type-2, and 123 Type-Unclassifiable-gray-zone lesions between Type-1 and Type-2 that constituted the largest proportion of papillary tumors. Type-1 tumors were pathologically the least advanced, while the other types showed gradual advancement. The 5-year survival rate was better for patients with Type-1 tumors than for those with Type-Unclassifiable or Type-2 tumors. CONCLUSION The scoring system worked well to delineate a continuous spectrum of pathologic features ranging from Type-1, through Type-Unclassifiable, to Type-2, the latter two being challenging to differentially diagnose. Type-1 is regarded as an early neoplasm of Type-Unclassifiable and Type-2.

Abstract
Benign biliary tumor are common lesions that are often an incidental finding in subjects who undergo medical imaging tests for other conditions. Most are true neoplasms while few result from reactive or malformative proliferation. Benign tumors have no clinical consequences, although the premalignant nature or potential for malignant transformation is of concern in some cases. The main practical problem for pathologists is the need to differentiate them from malignant biliary tumours, which is not always straightforward. Premalignant lesions of the bile duct have been described, although their incidence has been poorly characterized. These lesions include biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms, intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct, and biliary intraepithelial neoplasia. In this article, histopathology of benign biliary tumors and biliary tumor precursors is discussed, with a focus on the main diagnostic criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrahepatic bile duct papilloma (IPNB) is a rare benign tumour from the bile duct epithelium and has a high malignant transformation rate. Early radical resection can obviously improve the prognosis of patients, but it is difficult to be sure of the diagnosis of IPNB before operating.
CASE SUMMARY This study included 28 patients with intraductal papilloma admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2010 to November 2020 and recorded their clinical manifestations, imaging features, complications and prognosis. There were 12 males and 16 females with an average age of 61.36 ± 8.03 years. Most patients had symptoms of biliary obstruction. Biliary dilatation and cystic mass could be seen on imaging. After surgery, IPNB was diagnosed by pathology.
CONCLUSION IPNB is a rare benign tumour in the bile duct. Early diagnosis and timely R0 resection can improve the prognosis of IPNB.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the biliary tract (IPNB) is a rare, low-grade neoplasm limited to the bile duct mucosa. The malignant transformation rate is low, and there have been limited reports of metastasis to other organs. Herein, we presented a rare case of a patient who was diagnosed with IPNB concurrent with invasive adenocarcinoma after surgery and was diagnosed with cardiac metastasis 6 months later. PATIENT CONCERNS A 61-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain to a local clinic. He was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with pancreatitis and transferred to our hospital. DIAGNOSIS Diagnostic testing (magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, positron emission tomography-computed tomography) revealed a papillary neoplasm and invasive adenocarcinoma with papillary neoplasm in the periampullary lesion. INTERVENTIONS Pancreaticoduodenectomy, right hemihepatectomy, and left lateral sectionectomy of the liver were performed. After surgery, we planned gemcitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy. OUTCOMES Upon completion of the sixth gemcitabine chemotherapy cycle, a hyperechoic, oval-shaped mass (1.3 × 2.6 cm) was found on the outer wall of the right atrium. Resection of a cardiac tumor in the right atrium and patch repair were performed. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, no other case of cardiac metastasis found during observation after surgery for an IPNB has been described. IPNBs are known to be less aggressive and to have a lower metastasis rate than intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms; therefore, the number of case reports describing metastasis after surgery is relatively low. Our case suggests that close observation is necessary in patients diagnosed with an IPNB.

Abstract
With major advancements and frequent use of abdominal imaging techniques, hepatic cysts are increasingly encountered in clinical practice. Although the majority of cysts are benign, a small subset represents neoplastic precursors to cholangiocarcinoma. These cystic precursors include intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) and mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver (MCN-L), and bear striking pathologic resemblance to corresponding cystic neoplastic precursors within the pancreas. This review examines the salient clinical, gross, microscopic and molecular features of IPNBs and MCN-Ls, and, in particular, provides histopathologic comparison to their pancreatic counterparts. Considering these neoplasms may be diagnostically challenging, we also discuss other hepatic lesions within the differential diagnosis, and the potential for molecular methods to improve their preoperative evaluation and the early detection of cholangiocarcinoma.

Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of Bile Duct: Updated Clinicopathological Characteristics and Molecular and Genetic Alterations. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9123991.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), a pre-invasive neoplasm of the bile duct, is being established pathologically as a precursor lesion of invasive cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), and at the time of surgical resection, approximately half of IPNBs show stromal invasion (IPNB associated with invasive carcinoma). IPNB can involve any part of the biliary tree. IPNB shows grossly visible, exophytic growth in a dilated bile duct lumen, with histologically villous/papillary neoplastic epithelia with tubular components covering fine fibrovascular stalks. Interestingly, IPNB can be classified into four subtypes (intestinal, gastric, pancreatobiliary and oncocytic), similar to intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN). IPNBs are classified into low-grade and high-grade based on lining epithelial features. The new subclassification of IPNB into types 1 (low-grade dysplasia and high-grade dysplasia with regular architecture) and 2 (high-grade dysplasia with irregular architecture) proposed by the Japan–Korea pathologist group may be useful in the clinical field. The outcome of post-operative IPNBs is more favorable in type 1 than type 2. Recent genetic studies using next-generation sequencing have demonstrated the existence of several groups of mutations of genes: (i) IPNB showing mutations in KRAS, GNAS and RNF43 belonged to type 1, particularly the intestinal subtype, similar to the mutation patterns of IPMN; (ii) IPNB showing mutations in CTNNB1 and lacking mutations in KRAS, GNAS and RNF43 belonged to the pancreatobiliary subtype but differed from IPMN. IPNB showing mutation of TP53, SMAD4 and PIK3CA might reflect complicated and other features characterizing type 2. The recent recognition of IPNBs may facilitate further clinical and basic studies of CCA with respect to the pre-invasive and early invasive stages.

Serum IgG as a Marker for Opisthorchis viverrini-Associated Cholangiocarcinoma Correlated with HER2 Overexpression. Int J Gen Med 2020; 13:1271-1283. [PMID: 33273846 PMCID: PMC7708780 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s282519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 11/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum antibody for Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) is strong evidence for a history of OV infection in people. Currently, no studies have examined whether varying cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) prevalence levels are linked to previous OV infection nor have they provided comprehensive assessment and characterization of OV-associated CCA. OBJECTIVE Our study examined the prevalence of serum IgG antibodies for OV-positive CCA cases and determined whether there were correlations of IgG antibodies with histopathologic features, HER2, PD-L1, and FGFR2 expression, as well as their roles on the patients' survival. METHODS The study involved 221 CCA surgical patients at Khon Kaen University Hospital, Thailand, from 2005 to 2017. Serum specimens were tested for OV IgG by ELISA. CCA tissue microarrays were used to examined for HER2, PD-L1, and FGFR2 expression. Logistic regression was used to investigate an association between factors and IgG. Cox regression was used to determine factors that affected CCA patient survival. RESULTS IgG for OV were positive in 162 cases, and the prevalence was 73.3% (95% CI=68.0-78.7). About three quarters (78.3%) had large duct type tumors and concomitant intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile ducts (IPNB) occurred in 92 (50%) cases. HER2 expression was positive in 94 (61.4%) cases. Positive PD-L1 and FGFR2 expression occurred in 125 (83.9%) and 100 (67.1%) cases. IgG for OV had no significant correlation to any histological feature but had significant correlation with HER2 overexpression with adjusted OR=2.32 (95% CI=1.09-4.96, P=0.03). Cases of CCA with OV IgG positive had a significantly poor prognosis with adjusted HR=1.66 (95% CI=1.13-2.43, P=0.01). CONCLUSION We found a high prevalence of serum IgG for OV-positive CCA patients and a correlation with overexpression of HER2. Moreover, IgG for OV and HER2 expression indicated poor survival of CCA. Therefore, future clinical studies for anti-HER2 treatments should focus on OV-associated CCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, postoperative prognostic factors for intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) have not been well-established. This study aimed to examine the histopathologic features and postoperative prognosis of the two IPNB subclassifications, as well as factors affecting prognosis, based on the authors' experience at a single institution. METHODS The study enrolled 83 patients who underwent surgical resection for pathologically diagnosed IPNB at the authors' institution. The clinicopathologic features and postoperative outcomes for these patients were examined. The study also investigated postoperative prognostic factors for IPNB using uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS More than half of the tumors (64%) diagnosed as IPNB were early-stage cancer (UICC Tis or T1). However, none were diagnosed as benign. The multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio [HR], 5.78; p = 0.002) and bile duct margin status with carcinoma in situ (D-CIS; HR, 5.10; p = 0.002) were independent prognostic factors, whereas MUC6 expression showed only a marginal influence on prediction of prognosis (HR, 0.32; p = 0.07). The tumor recurrence rate and the proportion of locoregional recurrence were significantly greater among the patients with D-CIS than among those with negative bile duct margins, including those patients with low-grade dysplasia. The patients with D-CIS showed a significantly poorer prognosis than those with negative bile duct margins (5-year survival, 38% versus 87%; p = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of resected IPNBs showed cancer in all cases. Avoiding positive biliary stumps during surgery, including resection of carcinoma in situ, would improve the prognosis for patients with IPNB.

Branch-type intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct treated with laparoscopic anatomical resection: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2020; 6:103. [PMID: 32415464 PMCID: PMC7229076 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-020-00864-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Accepted: 05/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is characterized by an intraluminal, growing papillary tumor covered by neoplastic biliary epithelial cells with a fine fibrovascular core. IPNB was introduced as a precancerous and early neoplastic lesion in the 2010 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the digestive system. IPNB eventually invades the bile duct wall and progresses to invasive cholangiocarcinoma. IPNB resembles intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN), particularly the main pancreatic duct type. IPNB cases, possibly corresponding to branch-type IPMN, have been recently reported, and these cases involved the peribiliary glands significantly and showed gross cystic dilatation. Small branch-type intrahepatic IPNB often mimics simple liver cysts, making the diagnosis of IPNB difficult. Some literature recommended surgical resection for treatment. Laparoscopic resection is a good treatment option for small tumor. We herein present the case of branch-type IPNB that was treated with laparoscopic anatomical liver resection 5 years after being detected. Case presentation A 64-year-old woman was undergoing follow-up for primary aldosteronism. In 2012, follow-up computed tomography (CT) incidentally revealed a 7-mm cystic lesion in segment 8 of the liver. From 2012 to 2017, the cystic lesion kept increasing in size, reaching 17 mm. In 2017, CT also revealed a 13-mm mural nodule in the cyst wall. Therefore, the patient was referred to our department for possible malignancy. We suspected a branch-type IPNB; however, the mass was small and diagnosis could not be made without performing biopsy. Accordingly, surgical resection was performed for diagnosis and treatment. Because branch-type IPNB might show horizontal spread through the intrahepatic bile duct, we believed that anatomical resection of the liver was appropriate considering the malignant potential of the lesion. Therefore, laparoscopic anatomical resection of segment 8 of the liver was performed. The resected tumor measured 17 mm and was histologically diagnosed as a high-grade IPNB. Conclusion Branch-type IPNBs are rare but can potentially lead to malignant tumors. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice, with laparoscopic anatomical resection being a good treatment option for this small tumor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify prognostic factors of malignant intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (m-IPNB). MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 38 consecutive cases which underwent surgical resection and diagnosed as IPNB with malignant component from January 2003 to January 2017. Clinicopathological variables were collected to conduct survival analysis and identify prognostic factors. RESULTS The median overall survival (OS) of m-IPNB was 76.0 months, with 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of 97.2%, 73.5%, and 59.8%, respectively. The median RFS was 48.0 months with 1-, 3-, and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was 83.2%, 59.8%, and 44.6%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that elevation of carcinoembryonic antigen CEA, lymph node involvement, resection margin status, degree of periductal invasion, and positive expression of CK20 were associated with both OS and RFS of m-IPNB. After multivariate Cox models analysis, lymph node involvement and positive expression of CK20 were identified as independent prognostic factors for OS, while lymph node involvement and resection margin status were independent prognostic factors for RFS. The median OS of patients with m-IPNB involving lymphatic metastases and positive expression of CK20 was 27.0±8.8 months and 51.0±12.4 months, respectively. The median RFS of cases with lymph node involvement and R1 resection was 10.0±3.3 months and 25.0±6.9 months, respectively. However, there was no significant difference in OS or RFS between cases of pancreaticobiliary and intestinal subtype. CONCLUSIONS Lymph node involvement and positive expression of CK20 are independent prognostic factors for shorter OS of m-IPNB, while patients with lymph node involvement and positive resection margin are at higher risk of tumor recurrence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the biliary tract (IPNB) are rare tumors originating from the bile duct epithelium. Metastatic disease of IPNB is extremely rare and only reported in a small number of cases worldwide. Due to this limitation in number, the treatment of IPNB mainly relies on retrospective case series. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reported three cases of IPNB, one benign, one carcinoma with lymph node metastasis, and one case with histologically proven metachronous pulmonary metastasis. We correlated our findings with the existing data found in the literature. All patients underwent hemihepatectomy and complete tumor resection was achieved. RESULTS Diagnosis of IPNB can be challenging due to varying presentation. The treatment of choice is surgical oncological resection in an early tumor stage. Long-term outcome highly depends on the underlying grade of dysplasia, multiplicity, and tumor-free margins. Aggressive tumor invasion is reported in up to 72% of cases in IPNB. Furthermore, the recurrence rate of IPNB is high with up to 22%. Further factors associated with an impaired survival are incomplete resection, lymph node involvement, and MUC1 expression. CONCLUSION High potential for dysplasia and proof of invasive carcinoma upon diagnosis are hallmarks of IPNB. Metastatic disease in IPNB is reported only in small numbers. IPNB is an aggressive tumor entity with impaired long-term outcomes. A drawback for interpretation of current data is the fact that they rely on case series and reports and are not validated through more powerful randomized multicentric trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Imaging characteristics for discriminating the malignant potential of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) still remain unclear. This study aimed to define the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings that help to differentiate IPNB with an associated invasive carcinoma from IPNB with intraepithelial neoplasia and to investigate their significance with respect to long-term outcomes in patients with surgically resected IPNB. METHODS This retrospective study included 120 patients with surgically resected IPNB who underwent preoperative MR imaging with MR cholangiography before surgery from January 2008 and December 2017 in two tertiary referral centers. Clinical and MR imaging features of IPNB with intraepithelial neoplasia (n = 34) and IPNB with an associated invasive carcinoma (n = 86) were compared. Regarding significant features for discriminating IPNB with or without an associated invasive carcinoma, recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were evaluated. RESULTS Significant MR imaging findings for differentiating IPNB with an associated invasive carcinoma from IPNB with intraepithelial neoplasia were intraductal visible mass, tumor size ≥2.5 cm, multiplicity of the tumor, bile duct wall thickening, and adjacent organ invasion (all p ≤0.002). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS rates for surgically resected IPNB were 93.8%, 79.1%, and 70.0%, respectively. RFS rates were significantly lower in patients with each significant MR imaging finding of IPNB with an associated invasive carcinoma than in those without significant MR imaging findings (all p ≤0.039). CONCLUSIONS MR imaging with MR cholangiography may be helpful in differentiating IPNB with an associated invasive carcinoma from IPNB with intraepithelial neoplasia. Significant MR imaging findings of IPNB with an associated invasive carcinoma have a negative impact on RFS. LAY SUMMARY Significant magnetic resonance imaging findings that differentiated between an intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) with an associated invasive carcinoma and an IPNB with intraepithelial neoplasia were intraductal visible mass, tumor size ≥2.5 cm, multiplicity of the tumor, bile duct wall thickening, and adjacent organ invasion. Significant magnetic resonance imaging findings of invasive IPNB have a negative impact on recurrence-free survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Knowledge on the pattern of recurrence and prognosis of intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) is limited. Few studies have reported IPNB recurrence in the remnant intrahepatic bile duct, which is indicative of the true multicentricity of IPNB. Herein, we report a case of IPNB with rapidly progressive recurrence in the remnant intrahepatic bile duct and review the literature for discussing the prognosis of IPNB with multicentricity. CASE PRESENTATION A 72-year-old male was diagnosed with IPNB in the hepatic duct of segment 3 that had spread to the left hepatic duct. The patient underwent left hepatectomy, total caudate lobectomy, and extra-hepatic bile duct resection with biliary reconstruction. Histologically, the tumor was IPNB with noninvasive adenocarcinoma with a negative surgical margin. Although dilatation of B8 and biliary enzyme elevation were observed beginning at 7-10 months postoperatively, there was no evidence of recurrence. At 17 months postoperatively, the recurrent tumor diffusely spread throughout the remnant intrahepatic bile duct. Internal drainage stents were placed within the intrahepatic bile ducts with relapsed IPNB to relieve jaundice, and a course of chemotherapy was considered. However, the patient did not receive any therapies up to his death at 21 months postoperatively because of rapid disease progression. CONCLUSION According to a literature review, some cases of multicentric IPNB have shown rapidly progressive recurrence and poor prognosis. We should consider multicentricity of IPNB even a few months after curative resection, and narrow examinations should also be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We outline the concept of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), discuss the morphologic features of IPNB and the differential diagnoses, and describe the radiologic approaches used in multidisciplinary management. CONCLUSION The concept of IPNB has been evolving. Because the imaging features of IPNB can be variable, different mimickers according to IPNB subtype can be considered. A multimodality approach is essential to obtain an optimal diagnosis and establish treatment plans.

Abstract
There have been few studies of the long-term outcomes of surgically resected intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB). Mucus might be produced even after the R0 resection of IPNB, and frequent cholangitis or jaundice might be occurred. The biliary tract of the remnant liver after curative resection should be managed carefully for a long time after surgical resection.
Introduction Few studies have reported the long-term outcomes of surgical resected intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB). Here, we describe the long-term observation and treatment of a case of widespread IPNB. Presentation of case A 57-year-old male was referred to our hospital due to jaundice and dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct. Computed tomography showed dilation and irregularities of the right intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts together with a 3 cm nodule in the common hepatic duct. Peroral cholangioscopy revealed mucinous discharge from the ampulla of Vater, which resulted in a diagnosis of IPNB. A biopsy of the nodule and the bile duct revealed papillary adenoma in all of them. Right hepatectomy, caudate lobectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and left hepaticojejunostomy were performed. The nodule was histologically diagnosed as papillary carcinoma in situ, and R0 resection was performed. However, mucus production from the papillary adenoma in the B3 and B4 was observed. We carefully managed the patient's biliary tract by inserting a biliary drainage tube into the segment 2, and he has survived for more than 7 years since the initial treatment. Discussion Mucus might be produced after the surgical resection of IPNB even if s surgical margin was benign. Five-year survival rate of benign IPNB was reported from 85% to 100%. That might be caused by difference of the postoperative management of the biliary tract. Conclusions Careful management of the biliary tract should be performed after surgical resection of IPNB.

Surgical treatment of mucin-producing cholangiocarcinoma arising from intraductal papillary neoplasm of the intrahepatic bile duct: a report of 2 cases. KOREAN JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SURGERY 2016; 20:137-43. [PMID: 27621752 PMCID: PMC5018950 DOI: 10.14701/kjhbps.2016.20.3.137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2016] [Revised: 06/19/2016] [Accepted: 06/22/2016] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) leads to malignant transformation and mucin production. Herein, we presented two cases of mucin-producing IPNB with obstructive jaundice who underwent resection of the intrahepatic lesions and bypass hepaticojejunostomy. The first case was a 69 year-old male patient with 5-year follow up for gallstone disease. Imaging studies showed mucin-secreting IPNB mainly in the hepatic segment III bile duct (B3) and multiple intrahepatic duct stones for which, segment III resection, intrahepatic stone removal, end-to-side choledochojejunostomy and B3 hepaticojejunostomy were conducted. The second case was a 74 year-old female patient with 11-year follow up for gallstone disease. Imaging studies showed mucin-producing IPNB with dilatation of the segment IV duct (B4) and mural nodules for which, segment IV resection, partial resection of the diaphragm and central hepaticojejunostomy were conducted. Both patients recovered uneventfully from surgery. These cases highlight that in patients with IPNB, abundant production of highly viscous mucin inducing obstructive jaundice may be associated with malignant transformation.
