title: Papillary adenoma of the gallbladder associated with regurgitation of pancreatic juice through abnormally shaped union. Case report.
abstract: In a 52-year-old woman papillary adenoma of the gallbladder was associated with regurgitation of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract via an abnormally shaped union, not a long common channel. The condition was demonstrated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and histologically confirmed. Extended cholecystectomy and lymph-node dissection were performed.
