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
Although intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm (IOPN) was considered distinct from the intraductal papillary neoplasm of the pancreas, the oncocytic histologic type remained as a subtype of intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) with gastric, intestinal, and pancreatobiliary types based on the fifth edition of the WHO classification. To test the characteristics of the oncocytic type of IPNBs, the histopathologic, immunohistochemical (Hep Par-1 and CD117), and clinical characteristics of 13 oncocytic type were compared with 114 others (15 gastric, 39 pancreatobiliary, and 60 intestinal) IPNB types. The oncocytic type, which occupied about 9% of IPNBs, was more frequent in females (p < 0.05) and larger (mean, 5.3 vs. 3.6 cm; p < 0.002) than other IPNB types. Immunohistochemically, the oncocytic type had more frequent combined Hep Par-1 and CD117 expression than other IPNB types (all p < 0.05). The recurrence-free survival rate for patients with the oncocytic type (5-year survival, 100%) was significantly higher (p = 0.015) than for those with other histologic types (59.9%). The oncocytic type had distinct histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and survival outcomes from other IPNBs. Therefore, it can be separated from other IPNB types and classified as one independent entity, similar to IOPN of the pancreas.

Surg Today 2024:10.1007/s00595-024-02825-x. [PMID: 38563999 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-024-02825-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) has been subclassified by its gross morphology into the mass-forming (MF), periductal-infiltrating (PI), and intraductal growth (IG) types and their combinations. This classification correlates well with clinical features; for example, MF-iCCA has less lymph-node metastasis and a better prognosis than PI-iCCA. According to the recently accumulated evidence from histological investigations, the WHO classification endorsed a subclassification scheme in which iCCA cases are classified into small- and large-duct types. Small-duct iCCA is considered to originate from septal or smaller bile ducts and is characterized by less frequent lymph-node metastasis, a favorable prognosis, and an MF appearance. Large-duct iCCA arises around the second branch of the biliary tree and has more aggressive biology and distinct genetic abnormalities. According to the practice guidelines for iCCA from the Liver Cancer Study Group of Japan and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, upfront surgery is recommended for iCCA without distant metastasis regardless of the morphological subtype, based on clinical experience. In consideration of the biological heterogeneity of iCCA, the treatment strategy for iCCA needs to be reconsidered based on the WHO subtypes.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) represents a relatively nascent pathological entity, recognized as a precancerous condition within the spectrum of cholangiocarcinoma. Surgical intervention is advocated for all patients with IPNB due to their susceptibility toward obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, and the heightened likelihood of malignant transformation. Nonetheless, the efficacy of radiation therapy for IPNB cases that are either inoperable or refractory remains inadequately substantiated. Herein, we present a case study of an IPNB patient who declined surgery, and a commendable local control was accomplished solely through the implementation of brachytherapy utilizing Ir-192. A septuagenarian Japanese man presented at our medical institution with the chief complaint of jaundice and was subsequently diagnosed with IPNB. The IPNB lesion extensively spanned from the lower intrapancreatic bile duct to the right (extending to B5/B8) and left bile ducts (up to just before B4). The patient underwent weekly endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) sessions. The prescribed treatment regimen encompassed 36 Gy/6 Fr high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) administered once per week during ERCP, with each treatment session adhering to a timeframe not exceeding two hours. Two months following the initiation of treatment, a biliary endoscopy demonstrated complete resolution of the tumor lesion and amelioration of jaundice. The only observed acute adverse event was grade 2 hepatic dysfunctions. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first documented instance of HDR-BT employed in IPNB management, suggesting its potential as a viable alternative for inoperable or refractory IPNB cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) are rare and characterized by papillary growth within the bile duct lumen. IPNB is similar to obstructive biliary pathology. In this report, we present an unexpected case of asymptomatic IPNB and consolidate our findings with the relevant literature to augment our understanding of this condition. Integrating relevant literature contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the disease. CASE SUMMARY A 66-year-old Chinese male patient was admitted to our hospital for surgical intervention after gallstones were discovered during a routine physical examination. Preoperative imaging revealed a lesion on the left side of the liver, which raised the suspicion of IPNB. A laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy was performed, and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of IPNB. At the 3-mo postoperative follow-up, the patient reported good recovery and no metastasis. IPNB can manifest both latently and asymptomatically. Radical surgical resection is the most effective treatment for IPNB. CONCLUSION Hepatic and biliary masses, should be considered to diagnose IPNB. Prompt surgery and vigilant follow-up are crucial in determining prognosis.

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 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
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare distinct subtype of precursor lesions of biliary carcinoma. IPNB is considered to originate from luminal biliary epithelial cells, typically displays mucin-hypersecretion or a papillary growth pattern, and results in cystic dilatation[1]. IPNB develops anywhere in the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tracts, and can occur in various pathological stages from low-grade dysplasia to invasive carcinoma. IPNBs have similar phenotypic changes in the occurrence and development of all subtypes, and the prognosis is significantly better than that of traditional (non-papillary) cholangiocarcinoma.
AIM To evaluate the clinicopathological features of IPNB to provide evidence-based guidance for treatment.
METHODS Invasive IPNB, invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN), and traditional cholangiocarcinoma data for affected individuals from 1975 to 2016 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Annual percentage changes (APCs) in the incidence and incidence-based (IB) mortality were calculated. We identified the independent predictors of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in individuals with invasive IPNB.
RESULTS The incidence and IB mortality of invasive IPNB showed sustained decreases, with an APC of -4.5% (95%CI: -5.1% to -3.8%) and -3.3% (95%CI: -4.1% to -2.6%) (P < 0.001), respectively. Similar decreases in incidence and IB mortality were seen for invasive IPMN but not for traditional cholangiocarcinoma. Both OS and CSS for invasive IPNB were better than for invasive IPMN and traditional cholangiocarcinoma. A total of 1635 individuals with invasive IPNB were included in our prognosis analysis. The most common tumor sites were the pancreaticobiliary ampulla (47.9%) and perihilar tract (36.7%), but the mucin-related subtype of invasive IPNB was the main type, intrahepatically (approximately 90%). In the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, tumor site, grade and stage, subtype, surgery, and chemotherapy were associated with OS and CSS (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Incidence and IB mortality of invasive IPNB trended steadily downward. The heterogeneity of IPNB comprises site and the tumor’s mucin-producing status.

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.

Wu X, Li B, Zheng C. Clinicopathologic characteristics and long-term prognosis of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct: a retrospective study. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:132. [PMID: 36945047 PMCID: PMC10029268 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01102-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a premalignant neoplasm that can involve both the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Owing to the low incidence and confusing nomenclature, its clinicopathological features remain controversial. Additionally, only a few studies have reported on the long-term prognosis of IPNB to date. Therefore, the present study aimed to clarify the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of IPNB. METHODS Medical records of patients with IPNB treated at our hospital between August 2000 and October 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. A database of demographic characteristics, test results, surgical details, pathological findings, and follow-up information was constructed for analysis. Patients were divided into intrahepatic and extrahepatic groups, and dysplasia and invasive carcinoma groups for comparison. Differences between study groups were analyzed using the χ2 test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, or Mann-Whitney U test, as appropriate. Cumulative survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS In total, 43 patients (21 men and 22 women) with IPNB were included in the study. The median age at diagnosis was 62 (54-69) years. Thirty-eight patients underwent surgery. The mean operation time was (269.5 ± 94.9) min. Five patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for biopsy. Twenty-one and 22 patients had intrahepatic and extrahepatic lesions, respectively. The extrahepatic group had more patients with intraluminal masses (p = 0.021) and abnormal bilirubin levels (p = 0.001), but fewer patients with hepatolithiasis (p = 0.021). The operation time was longer in patients with extrahepatic lesions (p = 0.002). Twenty patients had dysplasia and 23 had invasive carcinoma. The invasive carcinoma group had a longer operation time than the dysplasia group (p = 0.004). As of March 2022, 39 patients were followed up, with a mean follow-up time of (56.2 ± 38.2) months. Fifteen patients survived without tumors, two survived with tumors, and 22 patients died. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year cumulative overall survival rates were 86.9%, 65.8%, 49.8%, and 32.0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS IPNB is a rare bile duct disease that occurs mainly in patients with advanced age. Surgery is the primary treatment strategy. Intrahepatic and extrahepatic lesions, as well as dysplasia and invasive carcinoma have their own unique characteristics. The long-term prognosis of IPNB is generally poor.

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.

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
The T category of distal extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma (DBDC) is based on invasion depth from the basal lamina to the deepest infiltrating tumor cells. Recently, invasive tumor thickness (ITT) was proposed, defined as maximal vertical distance of invasive tumor components regardless of the basal lamina. We compared the predictive value of T category, and ITT grading in 424 surgically resected DBDCs. DBDCs were categorized as 6 Tis (1.4%), 134 T1 (<5 mm; 31.6%), 204 T2 (5 to 12 mm; 48.1%), and 80 T3 (>12 mm; 18.9%). With ITT, there were 6 G0 (no invasion; 1.4%), 3 G1 (<1 mm; 0.7%), 90 G2 (≥1 and <5 mm; 21.2%), 188 G3 (≥5 and <10 mm; 44.4%), and 137 G4 (≥10 mm; 32.3%). The 5-year survival rates of T1, T2, and T3 were 58.9%, 44.2%, and 18.2%, and those of ITT G1, G2, G3, and G4 were 33.3%, 54.1%, 51.6%, and 26.7%, respectively. The T category discriminated patient survival by overall (P<0.001) and pairwise (T1 vs. T2, P=0.007; T2 vs. T3, P<0.001) comparisons. ITT grading distinguished survival by overall and between G3-G4 (both P<0.001), with no survival differences observed between G1-G2 and G2-G3 comparisons. The T category more accurately discriminated patient survival than ITT grading. To determine the T category for DBDCs, (1) longitudinal sectioning on gross examination, especially for DBDCs with large papillary or nodular growth patterns; (2) evaluation of serial sections or alternative hematoxylin and eosin slides; (3) use of a straight or curved baseline depending on the shape of the peritumoral normal bile duct wall and/or the basal lamina of the peritumoral normal biliary epithelia/biliary intraepithelial neoplasias are recommended.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPN-B) is a rare preinvasive intraductal pathology of the biliary tract. It should be differentiated from other more common benign or malignant causes of biliary obstruction and dilatation such as calculi or cholangiocarcinoma because the management and prognosis of this condition differs significantly. This case report describes a case of IPN-B in a 45-year-old female patient who presented with non-specific complaints of chronic abdominal pain without jaundice for three months.

Abstract
Background: Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a precancerous lesion of cholangiocarcinoma, for which surgical resection is the most effective treatment. We evaluated the predictors of malignancy in IPNB according to anatomical location and the prognosis without surgery. Methods: A total of 196 IPNB patients who underwent pathologic confirmation by surgical resection or endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic biopsy were included. Clinicopathological findings of IPNB with invasive carcinoma or mucosal dysplasia were analyzed according to anatomical location. Results: Of the 116 patients with intrahepatic IPNB (I-IPNB) and 80 patients with extrahepatic IPNB (E-IPNB), 62 (53.4%) and 61 (76.3%) were diagnosed with invasive carcinoma, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that mural nodule > 12 mm (p = 0.043) in I-IPNB and enhancement of mural nodule (p = 0.044) in E-IPNB were predictive factors for malignancy. For pathologic discrepancy before and after surgery, IPNB has a 71.2% sensitivity and 82.3% specificity. In the non-surgical IPNB group, composed of nine I-IPNB and seven E-IPNB patients, 43.7% progressed to IPNB with invasive carcinoma within 876 days. Conclusions: E-IPNB has a higher rate of malignancy than I-IPNB. The predictive factor for malignancy is mural nodule > 12 mm in I-IPNB and mural nodule enhancement in E-IPNB.

Abstract
Pancreas segmentation is necessary for observing lesions, analyzing anatomical structures, and predicting patient prognosis. Therefore, various studies have designed segmentation models based on convolutional neural networks for pancreas segmentation. However, the deep learning approach is limited by a lack of data, and studies conducted on a large computed tomography dataset are scarce. Therefore, this study aims to perform deep-learning-based semantic segmentation on 1006 participants and evaluate the automatic segmentation performance of the pancreas via four individual three-dimensional segmentation networks. In this study, we performed internal validation with 1,006 patients and external validation using the cancer imaging archive pancreas dataset. We obtained mean precision, recall, and dice similarity coefficients of 0.869, 0.842, and 0.842, respectively, for internal validation via a relevant approach among the four deep learning networks. Using the external dataset, the deep learning network achieved mean precision, recall, and dice similarity coefficients of 0.779, 0.749, and 0.735, respectively. We expect that generalized deep-learning-based systems can assist clinical decisions by providing accurate pancreatic segmentation and quantitative information of the pancreas for abdominal computed tomography.

Abstract
Cystic hepatobiliary neoplasms with mucin-producing epithelium-mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN) and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB)-are rare and distinct entities that have unique clinical, pathologic, and imaging features. They are differentiated pathologically by the presence of subepithelial ovarian-like hypercellular stroma (OLS), which is the defining histopathologic feature of MCN. MCN is commonly a benign, large, solitary, symptomatic, multiloculated cystic mass without biliary communication that occurs in middle-aged women. On the other hand, IPNBs are a heterogeneous spectrum of tumors, which are commonly associated with invasive carcinoma, occur in older patients, and can be differentiated from MCN by communication with the biliary tree, intraductal masses, associated biliary ductal dilatation, and absent OLS. Understanding of these rare neoplasms has grown and evolved over time and continues to today, but uncertainty and controversy persist, related to the rarity of these tumors, relatively recent designation as separate entities, inherent clinicopathologic heterogeneity, overlapping imaging features, and the fact that many prior studies likely included MCN and cystic IPNB together as a single entity. Confusion regarding these neoplasms is evident by historical inconsistencies and nonstandardized nomenclature through the years. Awareness of these entities is important for the interpreting radiologist to suggest a particular diagnosis or generate a meaningful differential diagnosis in the appropriate setting, and is of particular significance as MCN and cystic IPNB have overlapping imaging features with other more common hepatobiliary cystic masses but have different management and prognosis.

Abstract
A 73-year-old man with mixed-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas body was followed up for 14 years. Based on imaging findings, the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas met the high-risk stigmata, and new hepatic masses were suspected to be intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct. With a diagnosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct, the patient had undergone left lateral hepatectomy and distal pancreatectomy. Based on pathology, the pancreatic specimen was diagnosed as a high-grade intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas, and the hepatic specimen was diagnosed as an intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct and hepatocellular carcinoma. The intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct and hepatocellular carcinoma were adjacent to each other. Fifteen months after surgery, recurrence in the remnant pancreas was detected. The patient had undergone residual total pancreatectomy, with no recurrence thirty months after the second resection. This case demonstrates that second surgery for metachronous high-risk lesions in the remnant pancreas of patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct may also be considered to improve survival.

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
CONTEXT.— Because of new and improved imaging techniques, cystic/intraductal pancreatobiliary tract lesions are increasingly being discovered, and brushings or endoscopic ultrasound/computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsies from these lesions have become an integral part of pathologists' daily practice. Because patient management has become increasingly conservative, accurate preoperative diagnosis is critical. Cytologic distinction of low-risk (pseudocysts, serous cystadenoma, lymphoepithelial cysts, and squamoid cysts of the pancreatic duct) from high-risk pancreatic cysts (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and mucinous cystic neoplasm) requires incorporation of clinical, radiologic, and cytologic findings, in conjunction with chemical and molecular analysis of cyst fluid. Cytopathologists must ensure appropriate specimen triage, along with cytologic interpretation, cyst classification, and even grading of some (mucinous) cysts. Epithelial atypia in mucinous cysts (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and mucinous cystic neoplasm) has transitioned from a 3-tiered to a 2-tiered classification system, and intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasms and intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasms have been separately reclassified because of their distinctive clinicopathologic characteristics. Because these lesions may be sampled on brushing or fine-needle aspiration biopsy, knowledge of their cytomorphology is critical. OBJECTIVE.— To use an integrated, multidisciplinary approach for the evaluation of cystic/intraductal pancreatobiliary tract lesions (incorporating clinical, radiologic, and cytologic findings with [chemical/molecular] cyst fluid analysis and ancillary stains) for definitive diagnosis and classification. DATA SOURCES.— Review of current literature on the cytopathology of cystic/intraductal pancreatobiliary tract lesions. CONCLUSIONS.— Our knowledge/understanding of recent updates in cystic/intraductal pancreatobiliary lesions can ensure that cytopathologists appropriately triage specimens, judiciously use and interpret ancillary studies, and incorporate the studies into reporting.

Abstract
Introduction and importance Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a tumour with a very low incidence in the Western world, characterised by a high risk of malignant transformation and unknown prognosis. It is a new entity which was adopted by the WHO in 2010 as a precursor lesion of cholangiocarcinoma. Intrahepatic bile duct is the most common site of origin for IPNB. Case presentation Hereby, we present a case of an asymptomatic 63- year-old man, referred to our department after routine ultrasonography showing a multifocal cystic lesion on the left hepatic lobe. Further screening modalities (CT, MRI abdo) confirmed a complex cystic liver lesion with atypical features. The patient underwent left hepatectomy. Histopathology showed a cystic type intrahepatic IPNB, which was completely resected (R0). The follow up in 2 yrs post-operation showed no signs of recurrence. Clinical discussion The diagnosis and management of IPNB remain challenging. A multimodality imaging approach is essential in order to diagnose IPNB, assess tumour location and extent and plan the optimal treatment strategy. Conclusion Complete surgical resection (R0) with close postoperative follow-up offers long-term survival.

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.

Abstract
Background Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is considered a pre-cancerous biliary lesion and/or an early cancer lesion, although its classification remains unclear. The 2019 revised edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Digestive System proposed type 1 and type 2 as new classification categories, and meta-analyses and/or multi-center cohort studies are beginning to be reported. However, treatment for IPNB recurrence and metastasis remains unclear. Case presentation A 60-year-old man who was referred to our hospital after a suspected liver tumor was diagnosed using abdominal ultrasonography. Imaging findings revealed an irregularly shaped tumor in segment 5 (S5) of the liver (size 20 mm). The S5 lesion was suspected as IPNB, and segmentectomy was performed. The pathological findings revealed invasive carcinoma derived from IPNB, and immunohistochemistry revealed positive expression of MUC1, MUC5AC, and MUC6, but negative expression of CDX2 and MUC2. At 9 months after the surgery, computed tomography revealed a tumor in the right bile duct, which was diagnosed as liver recurrence of IPNB, and right hepatectomy was performed. The histopathological findings were the same as for the first resected specimen (i.e., IPNB). At 45 months after the second surgery, computed tomography revealed nodules in both lungs, which were diagnosed as lung metastases from IPNB and resected in two separate procedures. The pathological findings were metastatic carcinoma from IPNB for both lung lesions. The patient is currently alive and undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy (S-1), which was initiated 64 months after the first resection and 12 months after resection of the lung metastases. Conclusion We encountered a rare case of lung metastases from IPNB, which were diagnosed immunohistologically. Because IPNB is generally a slow-growing tumor, resection may be feasible for IPNB recurrence and/or metastasis, which may be detected during long-term follow-up. Thus, even if resection is performed for primary IPNB, additional surgical treatment may be feasible in this setting.

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
Microcrystal delivery methods are pivotal in the use of serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) to resolve the macromolecular structures of proteins. Here, the development of a novel technique and instruments for efficiently delivering microcrystals for SFX are presented. The new method, which relies on a one-dimensional fixed-target system that includes a microcrystal container, consumes an extremely low amount of sample compared with conventional two-dimensional fixed-target techniques at ambient temperature. This novel system can deliver soluble microcrystals without highly viscous carrier media and, moreover, can be used as a microcrystal growth device for SFX. Diffraction data collection utilizing this advanced technique along with a real-time visual servo scan system has been successfully demonstrated for the structure determination of proteinase K microcrystals at 1.85 Å resolution.
