[Gallbladder cancer revealed by a jaundice caused by an endobiliary tumor thrombus].
Main bile duct neoplasic thrombosis is a rare cause of jaundice in case of gallbladder cancer. We report the case of 27-year-old woman in whom the endoluminal biopsy of biliary thrombus confirmed the suspected diagnosis of gallbladder cancer. An initial laparoscopic exploration found a localized peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, in this exceptional situation with an unknown prognostic, a surgical procedure has been performed including hepatectomy IV-V with biliary principal bile duct removal, hepatico-jejunal anastomosis (Roux-en-Y), with complete resection of localized peritoneal carcinomatosis. Post-operative course were uneventful and this patient was asymptomatic under chemotherapy with a six month follow-up.
