[Biliary cystadenocarcinoma. A case report].
The authors report a case of cystadenocarcinoma of the biliary tract, an uncommon tumor of the liver. A 68 aged white Caucasian jaundiced male subwent intervention for a tumor of the 4th hepatic segment. Forty-two months after discharge he is still alive without any secondary lesion. On the 16th follow-up month a prostatic malignancy was diagnosed. Differential diagnosis with other cystic lesion is an exacting and difficult target. Usual techniques such as US, CT, NMR infrequently get a correct diagnosis. Often only in surgical room a real diagnosis is achieved. In the aim to avoid tumor relapse the best surgical procedure is a large hepatic resection.
