Neuroendocrine tumor of the common hepatic duct: A rare cause of extrahepatic jaundice in adolescence

Enhanced Collateral Growth by Double Transplantation of Gene-Nucleofected Fibroblasts in Ischemic Hindlimb of Rats

“…The peak of expression of the plasmid in vivo was determined to occur on day 3 (Figure 4A), which is consistent with the in vitro data (Figure 3B). Although most of the previous studies showed that less than 10% of the plasmid can reach the general circulation after direct plasmid intramuscular injection [36], [37], it was reported that plasmid can be detected by PCR up to 1 year in mice [38]. Here, we showed that the use of ex vivo transfection has substantially decreased this time.…”

Neuroendocrine tumor of the common hepatic duct, mimicking a choledochal cyst in a 6-year-old child

“…In our review of the literature, we found that in 2 of the 4 reported cases (Table 1), local tumor resection with Rouxen-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed with no recurrences described [5,7]. We think that, in cases of children with well localized tumors, excision without a peancreaticoduodenectomy might be safely performed.…”

“…Our literature search revealed that 51 cases of neuroendocrine tumors localized to the extra hepatic bile duct had been reported with four of those presenting in children (3 girls, 1 boy; 12-15 years of age) [4][5][6][7][8]. To our knowledge, we present the second pediatric case of a neuroendocrine tumor located on the distal common hepatic duct at this early age.…”

Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Hilar Bile Duct

“…The tumor was located at the common hepatic duct in 13 (52%), followed by common hepatic duct bifurcation in 8 (32%). There was no metastasis in 18 cases (72%), whereas lymph node metastasis was observed in 4 cases (16%) (13,14,19,27) and liver metastasis in 3 cases (12%) (11,23,25). The most common operative procedure was extrahepatic bile duct resection in 18 (72%) patients, followed by choledochotomy and tumor resection in 2 (8%) patients.…”
