title: Carcinoid tumor of the cystic duct: case report, literature review and comparison of surgical approaches.
abstract: We present the case of a 48-year-old female with a cystic duct carcinoid that was found incidentally upon laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient subsequently underwent excision of the cystic duct remnant. This is the tenth reported case of a cystic duct carcinoid and the second reported laparoscopic excision.
