Abstract

Adenocarcinoma of the cystic duct is a neoplasm that takes its origin from the mucosa of the cystic duct. The tumor is sometimes classified as a distinct subtype of gallbladder carcinoma. It is a rare malignancy which accounts to only 2–6 to 12.6 % of all extrahepatic bile duct malignancies. The neoplasm mainly occurs in male and in persons older than 60 years of age. Individuals with this tumor less commonly have gallstones in comparison with gallbladder cancer patients. For diagnosis, the tumor must be restricted to the cystic duct, with no evidence of a neoplastic process in gallbladder or other bile ducts. There are attempts to classify cystic duct carcinoma in regard to growth patterns and spread, including a hepatic hilum type and a cystic confluence type. There are other very rare primary neoplasms of the cystic duct, including neuroendocrine tumors and various types of mesenchymal neoplasms.
