Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the relationship between bile amylase (AMY) levels and biliary epithelial changes in pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM), a congenital anomaly characterized by pancreaticobiliary reflux due to duct fusion outside the duodenal wall. METHODS We enrolled 43 children with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) of Todani types Ia, Ic, and IVa who underwent surgery at the Hokkaido Medical Center for Child Health and Rehabilitation between November 2007 and June 2023. We defined total AMY exposure in bile as bile AMY levels multiplied by the patient's age (months), representing amount of estimated AMY exposure until surgery. We retrospectively investigated the relationships between bile AMY levels and clinicopathological findings. RESULTS All patients exhibited hyperplasia in the gallbladder and bile duct epithelium, with dysplasia observed in 13 cases, but no carcinoma. Exposure to bile AMY ≥ 662,400 IU/L × months was an independent risk factor for dysplasia. CONCLUSION The amount of estimated AMY exposure in bile rather than AMY levels in the bile is an independent risk factor for dysplasia in the biliary mucosa.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma in patients with Choledochal cysts is rare in childhood; however, it seriously affects the prognosis of the disease. The key to addressing this situation lies in completely removing the extrahepatic cyst. We herein present a case report of a 3-year-old boy with cholangiocarcinoma associated with a choledochal cyst (CDC). Preoperative 3D simulation, based on CT data, played an important role in the treatment of this patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate common hepatic duct just distal to the HE anastomosis (d-CHD) prospectively for mucosal damage, inflammation, fibrosis, dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, malignant transformation, effects of serum amylase, and symptoms at presentation in CC cases ranging from children to adults. METHODS Cross-sections of d-CHD obtained at cyst excision 2018-2023 from 65 CC patients; 40 children (< 15 years old), 25 adults (≥ 15) were examined with hematoxylin and eosin, Ki-67, S100P, IMP3, p53, and Masson's trichrome to determine an inflammation score (IS), fibrosis score (FS), and damaged mucosa rate (DMR; damaged mucosa expressed as a percentage of the internal circumference). RESULTS Mean age at cyst excision ("age") was 18.2 years (range: 3 months-74 years). Significant inverse correlations were found for age and DMR (p = 0.002), age and IS (p = 0.011), and age and Ki-67 (p = 0.01). FS did not correlate with age (p = 0.32) despite significantly increased IS in children. Dysplasia was identified in a 4-month-old girl with cystic CC. Serum amylase was elevated in high DMR subjects. CONCLUSIONS High DMR, high IS, and evidence of dysplasia in pediatric CC suggest children are at risk for serious sequelae best managed by precise histopathology, protocolized follow-up, and awareness that premalignant histopathology can arise in infancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, and other malignant transformation or premalignant/malignant histopathology (PMMH) seem uncommon in pediatric choledochal cyst (CC). A literature review and the authors' experience are presented. METHODS All reports about PMMH in CC patients 15 years old or younger published in English and all cases of PMMH in specimens excised from CC patients 15 years old or younger by the authors were reviewed. RESULTS Of 20 published reports, PMMH was adenocarcinoma (n = 4), sarcoma (n = 4), and dysplasia (n = 12). Treatment for malignancies was primary pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD; n = 2) or cyst excision/hepaticojejunostomy (Ex/HJ; n = 6). Outcomes at the time of writing for malignancies: 2 deaths, 4 survivors after follow-up of 2 years, and 2 lost to follow-up. No dysplasia case has undergone malignant transformation. The authors have experienced 7 cases of PMMH; adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS; n = 1) and dysplasia (n = 6). CONCLUSIONS The present study identified the youngest cases of AIS and dysplasia from specimens excised when they were 3 years old and 4 months old, respectively. Both are published for the first time as evidence that PMMH can complicate CC in young patients. Long-term protocolized postoperative follow-up is mandatory when PMMH is diagnosed in pediatric CC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Choledochal cyst (CDC) increases the risk (2.5%-30%) of malignancy. Metaplasia and dysplasia have been recognized as premalignant lesions among CDCs. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of metaplasia and dysplasia in CDC children. METHODS Two hundred and ten CDC children who underwent cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy at our institution between July 2020 and November 2021 were included and randomly divided into the training set and validation set. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify independent risk factors of premalignant lesions in the training set and build a predictive nomogram. The performance and discriminatory abilities of the nomogram were further assessed and validated in the validation set. RESULTS Of the 210 CDC children, 78 (37.1%) patients developed premalignant lesions. Age (OR, 1.011, 95%CI, 1.000-1.022, P = 0.046), symptoms duration (OR, 1.021, 95%CI, 1.001-1.042, P = 0.036), cyst diameter (OR, 1.737, 95%CI, 1.328-2.273, P < 0.001), recurrent attacks of biliary pancreatitis (OR, 3.653, 95%CI, 1.205-11.076, P = 0.022), and biliary operation history (OR, 5.860, 95%CI, 1.268-27.084, P = 0.024) were identified as independent risk factors. Based on these predictors, a predictive nomogram was generated. The AUC of the nomogram was 0.873 in the training set and 0.793 in the validation set, indicating that it was robust and well calibrated. CONCLUSIONS A novel nomogram to the individualized risk of premalignant lesions in CDC children was successfully built, on the basis of age, symptoms duration, cyst diameter, recurrent attacks of biliary pancreatitis, and biliary operation history. This nomogram, combined with the final pathological results, can help clinicians to develop more efficient follow-up strategies for the high-risk children with CDC.

Abstract
Understanding the pathogenesis and carcinogenesis of gallbladder adenocarcinoma is important. The fifth edition of the World Health Organization’s tumor classification of the digestive system indicates three types of preinvasive neoplasm of the gallbladder: pyloric gland adenoma (PGA), biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN), and intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN). New terminologies have also been introduced, such as intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasm, gastric pyloric, simple mucinous type, and intracholecystic tubular non-mucinous neoplasm (ICTN). Pancreatobiliary maljunction (PBM) poses a markedly high risk for bile duct carcinoma, which was analyzed and investigated mainly by Asian researchers in the past; however, recent studies have clarified a similar significance of biliary carcinogenesis in Western countries as well. In this study, we reviewed and summarized information on three gallbladder neoplastic precursors, PGA, BilIN, and ICPN, and gallbladder lesions in patients with PBM.

Abstract
CONTEXT Choledochal cyst is a rare malformation that mainly affects girls. AIMS The aim of this work is to report the diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of bile duct cyst in children in Dakar. SUBJECTS AND METHODS we conducted a prospective monocentre descriptive study from 1 July, 2016, to 30 June, 2019, in the Pediatric Surgery Department of Albert Royer Children's Hospital in Dakar. The studied parameters featured clinical, biological, radiological, therapeutic and evolutionary data. Overall, ten patients, including eight girls and two boys, were selected. RESULTS Two patients presented the classic triple-syndrome complex featuring an abdominal pain, an abdominal mass and jaundice. Most of the patients presented a symptomatology associating abdominal pain and vomiting. Biological cholestasis syndrome was present in six cases and biological cytolysis syndrome in five cases. The abdominal ultrasound-computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis and helped to set the Todani classification with a predominance of Types 1 and 4. Surgical treatment by laparotomy consisted of total excision of the cyst followed by a Y-en-Roux hepatico-jejunal anastomosis in nine cases, whereas we performed a drainage of the cyst in one case. Two patients presented a morbidity of anastomotic suture release and evisceration and had a good outcome after surgical repair. There was no mortality. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of choledochal cyst dilatation (CCD) can be suspected in the postnatal period on the basis of a gastro-intestinal symptomatology with or without associated to jaundice. The combination ultrasound-abdominal CT-scan helps set the diagnosis. The laparatomic approach always has its place for the management of CCD, especially in our context.

Abstract
PURPOSES Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD), defined as pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) with biliary dilatation, is a high risk factor for biliary tract cancer (BTC). KRAS and p53 mutations reportedly affect this process, but the mechanisms are unclear, as is the likelihood of BTC later in life in children with CBD. We investigated potential carcinogenetic pathways in children with CBD compared with adults. METHODS The subjects of this study were nine children with CBD and 13 adults with PBM (10 dilated, 3 non-dilated) without BTC who underwent extrahepatic bile duct resections, as well as four control patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for non-biliary cancer. We evaluated expressions of Ki-67, KRAS, p53, histone deacetylase (HDAC) and activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in the biliary tract epithelium immunohistochemically. RESULTS The Ki-67 labeling index (LI) and expressions of KRAS, p53, HDAC, and AID in the gallbladder epithelium were significantly higher or tended to be higher in both the children with CBD and the adults with PBM than in the controls. CONCLUSIONS BTC may develop later in children with CBD and in adults with PBM, via HDAC and AID expression and through epigenetic and genetic regulation.

Abstract
Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) is defined as two distinct episodes of acute pancreatitis (AP), whereas chronic pancreatitis (CP) is caused by persistent inflammation of the pancreas. In children they are caused by genetic mutations, autoimmune pancreatitis, congenital pancreatic abnormalities, and other conditions. Acute recurrent pancreatitis is frequently a precursor to CP, and both are thought to be on the same disease continuum. In particular, genetic factors are associated with early progression of ARP to CP. The diagnosis of CP, as in AP, is based on clinical findings, biochemical tests, and imaging studies. Findings of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction are also important in the diagnosis of CP. A step-up strategy has become increasingly standard for the treatment of patients with CP. This strategy starts with endoscopic treatment, such as pancreatic sphincterotomy and stenting, and progresses to surgery should endoscopic therapy fail or prove technically impossible. Non-opioid (e.g. ibuprofen / naproxen) and opioid (e.g. oxycodone) forms of analgesia are widely used in pediatric patients with AP or CP, whereas pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy may be beneficial for patients with abdominal pain, steatorrhea, and malnutrition. Despite the disparity in the age of onset, pediatric CP patients display some similarities to adults in terms of disease progress. To reduce the risk of developing pancreatic exocrine inefficiency, diabetes and pancreatic cancer in the future, clinicians need to be aware of the current diagnostic approach and treatment methods for ARP and CP and refer them to a pediatric gastroenterologist in a timely manner.

Abstract
Much about the aetiology, pathophysiology, natural course and optimal treatment of choledochal malformation remains under debate. Surgeons continuously strive to optimize their roles in the management of choledochal malformation. Nowadays the standard treatment is complete cyst excision followed by Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, be it via a laparotomy, laparoscopy or robot-assisted procedure. Whatever surgical endeavor is undertaken, it will be a major operation, with significant morbidity. It is important to realize that especially in asymptomatic cases, this is considered prophylactic surgery, aimed at preventing symptoms but even more important the development of malignancy later in life. A clear overview of long-term outcomes is therefore necessary. This paper aims to review the long-term outcomes after surgery for choledochal malformation. We will focus on biliary complications such as cholangitis, the development of malignancy and quality of life. We will try and identify factors related to a worse outcome. Finally, we make a plea for a large scale study into quality and course of life after resection of a choledochal malformation, to help patients, parents and their treating physicians to come to a well-balanced decision regarding the treatment of a choledochal malformation.

Abstract
Choledochal malformations (CMs) represent a spectrum of relatively rare and complex congenital anomalies, characterized by abnormal dilatation of the biliary tract in the absence of any acute obstruction. Today, almost 20% of CMs can be detected in-utero using maternal ultrasonography. Formal scientometric analysis was used to identify where modern CM research is taking place and perhaps where our attention should be directed in the future. Thus, this article offers a comprehensive review of recent scientific advances relating to CMs including the current understanding of etiology and classification, whilst also discussing key controversies such as risk of malignant transformation and the role of newer modalities of surgical treatment. Although laparoscopic excision of CMs and biliary reconstruction is nowadays feasible and safe, care should be taken before dispensing with standard open techniques, which have minimal complication rates and proven long-term benefit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a biliary malignancy found primarily in adults. The incidence of CCA in children is unknown. The aim of this study was to describe characteristics of CCA in children and adolescents. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER 18) database, we identified incident cases of CCA diagnosed at <20 years of age during the period of 1973 to 2013. Additionally, we reviewed published case reports describing pediatric patients with CCA. We calculated descriptive statistics for CCA cases identified in SEER and in case reports. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to determine median and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates. RESULTS We identified 15 children and adolescents diagnosed as having CCA from SEER 18 with an incidence rate of 0.0036 per 100,000. Two-thirds of cases were male, and the majority were white (n = 10). The median age at diagnosis was 17 years (range: 11-19 years). Nine tumors were intrahepatic, 3 extrahepatic, and 3 unspecified. One-third had distal metastases at diagnosis. Eight patients underwent surgical resection including liver transplant in two. Six patients were alive at the time of follow-up. Patients without surgical treatment did not survive. Three-year OS was 50%. Twenty-two children with CCA were found in the literature with a median age at diagnosis of 15 years (range: 3-18 years). Half were male, and 90% had an underlying gastrointestinal comorbidity. Three-year OS was 35.3%. CONCLUSIONS CCA in children and adolescents is rare with poor survival. A high proportion of cases had a history of biliary disease. Surgical resection is necessary for cure.

Abstract
Until now, there have been no practical clinical guidelines for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). In this review article, the Japanese Study Group on Congenital Biliary Dilatation (JSCBD) propose to establish clinical practice guidelines for CBD. Because the evidence-based literature is relatively small, we decided to create guidelines based on the consensus of experts, using the medical literature for reference. A total of 20 clinical questions (CQs) were considered by the members of the editorial committee responsible for the guidelines. The CQs included the distinct aspects of CBD: (1) Concepts and Pathology (three CQs); (2) Diagnosis (six CQs); (3) Pancreaticobiliary Complications (three CQs); Treatments and Prognosis (eight CQs). Each statements and comments for CQs were made by the guidelines committee members. CQs were finally approved after review by members of the editorial committee and the guidelines evaluation board of CBD. These guidelines were created to provide assistance in the clinical practice of CBD management; their contents focus on clinical utility, and they include general information on CBD to make this disease more widely recognized.

Abstract
We encountered a very rare case of bile duct carcinoma associated with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) in a 16-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital because of right upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a cystic dilatation of the common bile duct measuring 7 cm in diameter and two enhanced tumors 4 cm in diameter located in the inferior bile duct and middle bile duct. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography clearly demonstrated a cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct (Todani’s CBD classification: type 4-A). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography also revealed two tumors. Biopsy results of one of the tumors confirmed adenocarcinoma. Excision of the perihilar bile duct and subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy with dissection of the major lymph nodes were performed. A postoperative histopathologic examination revealed a well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma, which remained within the mucosal layer, and no lymph node metastasis was found. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 10 days after surgery and has remained disease-free for 21 months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is very often an adulthood disease with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) as one of the risk factors. It is rarely seen in the pediatric population, and when it is diagnosed before adulthood, it can be associated with PSC as well as HIV infection, biliary atresia, radiation therapy, and choledochal cyst. Although there have been some case reports of pediatric CCA, cases of childhood CCA associated with PSC are still relatively rare. AIM To describe the clinical and pathologic features of CCA in pediatric patients with previously diagnosed PSC. METHODS Retrospective study RESULTS Four patients with PSC (age range 15-18, mean 17 years) were included in this study. All patients underwent ERCP for diagnosis. Tissue samples obtained included routine cytology and FISH. ERCP was used to target sites for tissue acquisition in all patients. 3/4 of patients have inflammatory bowel disease (two Crohn's disease and one ulcerative colitis). Alkaline phosphatase was elevated in 3/4 patients, aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase were elevated in 2/4 patients, and total bilirubin/direct bilirubin were elevated in 2/4 patients. 4/4 patients had positive FISH studies, and 3/4 patients had brush cytology concerning for CCA. 2/4 patients received chemotherapy, one patient underwent orthotopic liver transplant, and one patient underwent Whipple procedure. Two patients died soon after being diagnosed. CONCLUSIONS Young patients with PSC can develop CCA. This finding has implications for both screening and surveillance for cancer in pediatric patients with PSC.

Abstract
Liver tumors in children can be classified into benign or malignant; some of the benign lesions can have the potential of malignant transformation, and therefore the therapeutic approach may change. These neoplasms account for nearly 1-2% of all pediatric tumors and they have gained significant attention in the last decades due to data suggesting that the incidence may be increasing 5% annually. We know that with new and improved imaging modalities some of these lesions may be detected more often than before. Recent studies showed that liver cancer represented 2% of malignancies in infants by 1980s and this was doubled in incidence to 4% in the following 10 yr. In this review our aim is to discuss all primary liver tumors in children with attention to their clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features followed by the current standard of care.

Abstract
There have been no clinical guidelines for the management of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). The Japanese Study Group on Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction (JSPBM) has proposed to establish clinical practice guidelines on how to deal with PBM, with the support of the Japan Biliary Association (JBA). Because the body of evidence-based literature is relatively small, we decided to create guidelines based on the consensus of experts, using the medical literature for reference. A total of 46 clinical questions (CQs) were considered by the members of the editorial committee responsible for the guidelines. The CQs covered distinct aspects of PBM: (1) Concepts and Pathophysiology (10 CQs); (2) Diagnosis (10 CQs); (3) Pancreatobiliary complications (9 CQs); and (4) Treatments and prognosis (17 CQs). Statements and comments for each CQ were prepared by the guidelines committee members and collaborating partners. The CQs were completed after review by members of the editorial committee, meetings of this committee, public comments on the homepages of the JSPBM and the JBA, public hearings, and assessment and approval by the guidelines evaluation board. PBM includes cases where the bile duct is dilated (PBM with biliary dilatation) and those in which it is not (PBM without biliary dilatation). In these guidelines, PBM with biliary dilatation is defined as being identical to congenital biliary dilatation of Todani type I (except for type Ib) and type IV-A, both of which are accompanied by PBM in almost all cases. These guidelines are created to provide assistance in the clinical practice of PBM management; their contents focus on clinical utility, and they include general information on PBM to make this disease more widely recognized.

Abstract
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is uncommon in the younger age range and bile duct brushing cytology can present unique challenges. We describe the case of a 17-year-old boy with a new diagnosis of PSC who presented with cholangiocarcinoma. The clinical history, endoscopic features, cytomorphologic findings, and results of UroVysion™ fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on the bile duct brush are described. UroVysion FISH on bile duct brushings is an ancillary study that can improve the diagnostic sensitivity for malignancy, specially in challenging cases where the cytomorphologic or clinical characteristics of the case are not typical. The occurrence of cholangiocarcinoma in young age group with PSC is uncommon, and the utilization of UroVysion FISH has been rarely described.
