Abstract

An-81-year-old man presented to another doctor complaining of epigastric pain. He was referred to us after the laboratory data revealed a high serum CEA and abdominal ultrasonography showed the space occupying lesion in the left liver. Abdominal CT revealed advanced gallbladder cancer infiltrating the liver and colon and found annular pancreas surrounding the descending portion of duodenum. We chose partial hepatectomy(S4a+S5), extrahepatic bile duct resection with hepaticojejunostomy and partial colectomy. Pathological diagnosis of the tumor was pT3N1M0, gallbladder cancer. The patient was discharged on the 21 days after operation. The frequency of malignant tumors in adult annular pancreas are not revealed. But some cases present with adult annular pancreas complicating the biliary tract tumor. We experienced a case of advanced gallbladder cancer with adult annular pancreas and report our case and review the pertinent literature.
