Background: Primary neuroendocrine tumor (NET) originating from the extrahepatic bile duct is rare, although liver metastasis from gastroenteropancreatic NET is frequently observed. We herein report a case who successfully underwent repeat hepatectomy for liver metastases from bile duct NET grade 2 (G2). Case presentation: A 75-year-old man presented with jaundice and was suspected of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He underwent extended left hepatectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and hepaticojejunostomy. Pathological findings showed a NET G2 of the biliary tract arising from the common bile duct. Two years and 11 months after surgery, a liver metastasis was detected and hepatectomy was performed. During the surgery, another liver metastasis was detected, and limited liver resection for the two lesions was performed. Pathological findings showed four liver metastases of NET G2. Five years and 4 months after the first surgery (2 years and 5 months after the second hepatectomy), four liver metastases were detected. Thereafter, he received somatostatin analogues for 1 year. Although the size of tumors increased slightly, the number did not change. He underwent limited liver resections and was diagnosed with 7 liver metastases of NET G2. Finally, another hepatectomy (fourth hepatectomy) was performed and long-term survival without recurrence was obtained for as long as 8 years after the first surgery. Conclusions: Repeat hepatectomy is a good option to obtain long-term survival for liver metastases from bile duct NET G2 in select patients.

“…The most common operative procedure was extrahepatic bile duct resection in 18 (72%) patients, followed by choledochotomy and tumor resection in 2 (8%) patients. For the patients with tumor of the hilar bile duct, hepatectomy was performed in 2 (8%) cases (12,26). A patient with unresectable tumor received liver transplantation (18).…”

“…Already there are reports of its use in every conceivable condition, from carcinoids3 to cholangiomas 4. There are also many direct comparisons between MRCP and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) where the newer technique produces sensitivities and specificities above 70%5 or even 90%,6 7 but the evidence of how and when MRCP should be used is emerging more slowly.…”
