Abstract

Biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms are rare parenchymal neoplasms with a considerable malignant potential. Due to a lack of diagnostic imaging criteria, histopathologic evaluation remains the definitive method of diagnosis. Resection is the treatment of choice. Here, the authors present a case of biliary mucinous neoplasm in a 39-year-old female with the associated radiographic and histopathologic findings.

Keywords: Biliary cystadenoma; Biliary mucinous cystic neoplasm; Mucinous cystic neoplasm with invasive carcinoma.
