胰胆管合流部解剖与急性胰腺炎关系的MRCP分析

目的探讨急性胰腺炎的产生与胰胆管合流部解剖的关系。方法回顾分析83例急性胰腺炎患者的MRCP片,对胰胆管合流部进行测量和分析比较;以同期139例非急性胰腺炎患者的MRCP片作为对比分析。结果急性胰腺炎组的共同通道长度明显大于对照组(P0.01);前者胰管与胆管汇合处角度也明显大于后者(P0.01);两组的肝外胆管直径和胰管直径无显著差别(P0.05)。结论急性胰腺炎的发生与胰胆管合流部的解剖密切相关,共同通道过长、胰胆管汇合角度过大是造成急性胰腺炎的重要因素。     

The relationship of anatomic variation of pancreatic ductal system and pancreaticobiliary diseases

The aims of this study were to identify the morphological diversities and anatomical variations of pancreatic ductal system and to define the relationships between pancreatic ductal systems, pancreaticobiliary diseases, and procedure- related complications, including post-ERCP pancreatitis. This study included 582 patients in whom both pancreatic duct (PD) and common bile duct were clearly visible by ERCP. PD systems were categorized into four types according to the relationship between common bile duct and PD. In types A and B, Wirsung duct formed the main PD. In type C, Wirsung duct did not form the main PD. If PD system did not fall into any of these three types, it was categorized as type D. The distribution of types among pancreatic ducts examined was as follows: type A: 491 cases (84.4%), type B: 56 cases (9.6%), type C: 20 cases (3.4%), and type D: 15 cases (2.6%). The anomalous anatomic variations of PD systems were divided into migration, fusion, and duplication anomalies. PD anomalies were noted in 51 patients, of which 19 (3.3%) were fusion anomalies (12 complete pancreas divisum, 7 incomplete pancreas divisum), and 32 (5.5%) were duplication anomalies (5 number variations, 27 form variations). No significant relationships between various PD morphologies and pancreaticobiliary diseases were found. However, post- ERCP hyperamylasemia was more frequently found in types C (41.7%), D (50%) and A (19.8%) than in type B (9.4%). In summary, whether Wirsung duct forms the main PD and the presence or absence of the opening of the Santorini duct are both important factors in determining the development of pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia after ERCP.     

THE CHOLEDOCHO-PANCREATICO-DUCTAL JUNCTION IN INFANTILE OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE DISEASES

A histopathological study on how the common bile duct and main pancreatic duct open into the duodenum was performed on autopsied cases of infantile obstructive jaundice diseases, and control cases. The so-called "common channel" formation type (Type III) was divided into two types; the junction of the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct was situated in the mucosal or submucosal layer of the duodenum in type IIIa and the junction below the propria muscularis of the duodenum in type IIIb. Type IIIb was identified in 17 out of 28 cases in congenital biliary atresia and in 2 cases of congenital choledochal cyst, while the control cases all belonged to type IIIa. In cases of type IIIb the well-developed sphincter muscle was located in the submucosal layer and it surrounded the common channel after joining of both ducts suggesting the possibility of free communication of both ducts. As the intraductal pressure of pancreatic duct is normally higher than that of the bile duct, reflux of pancreatic juice may occur into the bile duct. Abnormal choledocho-pancreaticoductal junction was suggested to be a pathogenic factor which causes infantile obstructive jaundice diseases.     

Bile duct carcinoma involving the common channel associated with pancreaticobiliary maljunction shows an extension pattern similar to ductal carcinoma of the pancreas

Biliary tract cancer occurs frequently in patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM), although no details of its clinicopathological characteristics have been reported. Here we describe a case of bile duct (BD) cancer that developed in association with PBM. This BD cancer involved the common channel, extended to the main pancreatic duct (MPD) via the common channel, and invaded the pancreatic parenchyma, where its growth and spread, and features of its recurrence, were similar to those of ductal carcinoma of the pancreas. We assumed that MPD extension of BD cancer via the common channel was the reason for its deep spread to the pancreas, since BD cancer usually spreads along the BD and rarely reaches the common channel of the ampulla of Vater. During the follow‐up of patients with PBM, attention should be paid to involvement of the common channel by BD cancer and also to cancer developing silently in the pancreas after extrahepatic BD resection.     

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction and choledochal cysts: from embryogenesis to therapeutics aspects

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) and choledochal cysts (CC) are rare and little-known diseases. Several definitions have been proposed for the PBM, but the most widely accepted is an excessive length of the common pancreaticobiliary duct due to the abnormal convergence of the pancreatic and biliary ducts out of the duodenal wall. This anomaly, thought to develop during embryogenesis, is associated with a loss of regulation of the Oddi’s sphincter leading to a pancreaticobiliary or biliopancreatic backflow. This reflux could be responsible, or associated with cystic dilatation of the bile ducts and biliary tract cancers, to various biliary or pancreatic events such as cholangitis or pancreatitis. For the diagnosis of PBM, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography has now become the gold standard as a noninvasive imaging tool. However, the main risk of PBM is the development of bile duct cancer, most often on a distended area. PBM without CC increase the occurrence of gallbladder cancer and require a preventive cholecystectomy. Surgical treatment of PBM with concomitant CC is more complex and depends on localization of the dilatation(s) as reported in the Todani’s classification. This review describes the pathogenesis, embryogenesis, clinical features, investigation and management of PBM and CC.

Pancreatographic investigation of pancreatic duct system and pancreaticobiliary malformation

To clarify the anatomy of the pancreatic duct system and to investigate its embryology, we reviewed 256 pancreatograms with normal pancreatic head, 81 with pancreas divisum and 74 with pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Accessory pancreatograms were divided into two patterns. The long-type accessory pancreatic duct forms a straight line and joins the main pancreatic duct at the neck portion of the pancreas. The short-type accessory pancreatic duct joins the main pancreatic duct near its first inferior branch. The short-type accessory pancreatic duct is less likely to have a long inferior branch arising from the accessory pancreatic duct. The length of the accessory pancreatic duct from the orifice to the first long inferior branch was similar in the short- and long-type accessory pancreatic ducts. The first long inferior branch from the long-type accessory pancreatic duct passes though the main pancreatic duct near the origin of the inferior branch from the main pancreatic duct. Immunohistochemically, in the short-type accessory pancreatic duct, the main pancreatic duct between the junction with the short-type accessory pancreatic duct and the neck portion was located in the ventral pancreas. The long-type accessory pancreatic duct represents a continuation of the main duct of the dorsal pancreatic bud. The short-type accessory pancreatic duct is probably formed by the proximal main duct of the dorsal pancreatic bud and its long inferior branch.     

A Study on the Anomalies of Gallbladder and Associated Structures

The gallbladder is a piriform structure on the undersurface of liver. It collects bile from the liver to concentrate it and to store it. The gallbladder has a cystic duct which joins the common bile duct and through these ducts bile passes into the duodenum. There is usually a single gallbladder (arising from the cystic bud of hepatic diverticulum) with one cystic duct supplied by a cystic artery taking origin from the right hepatic artery. But in few persons there are double gallbladder or double cystic ducts or different variations in the origin and course of cystic arteries. A study was undertaken in 2006 to detect the anomalies of these structures among the people Kolkata (a metropolis of eastern part of India), by dissection of cadavers. This study was conducted from the year 2006 to 2009 in the Department of Anatomy of Calcutta National Medical College and in other medical colleges of Kolkata. Three cases of double gallbladder and few other variations like double cystic duct were found in this study. These findings will help the clinicians (specially the surgeons, radiologists of the eastern part of India) to undertake any investigative or surgical procedure in the region of extra hepatic biliary apparatus. This study will enhance our knowledge not only surgical Anatomy, but also in embryology and in gross anatomy.     

Biliary cystic tumors with bile duct communication: a cystic variant of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct.

Biliary cystic tumors, which are also called biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma, are thought to be a heterogeneous disease entity, and some of them are known to show a luminal communication to the bile duct. In this study, we examined the clinicopathological features of nine cases of biliary cystic tumors with bile duct communication. They were composed of five males and four females with an average age of 67 years (52-84 years). They were multilocular (eight cases) or unilocular (one case), and all cases contained mucinous fluid. A direct luminal communication with the bile ducts was identified in five cases on preoperative or intraoperative cholangiographies. Biliary cystic tumors examined in this study were histologically adenoma (one case), adenocarcinoma in situ (six cases), and adenocarcinoma associated with microinvasive mucinous carcinoma (two cases). One case of adenocarcinoma in situ also had the adenoma component (adenocarcinoma in adenoma). Dysplastic mucinous epithelium proliferated in flat, micropapillary and papillary fashions within the intracystic spaces. Intraepithelial neoplasm was observed within non-dilated adjacent bile ducts, suggesting a direct luminal communication between the cystic tumors and the bile duct. Ovarian-like stroma was not observed in their walls in any cases. Immunohistochemically, seven cases expressed MUC1 or MUC2 in the neoplastic biliary epithelium. All cases except one were alive without any evidences of tumor recurrence after total excision (3-156 months after surgery). These clinicopathological features resembled those of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct, which had been reported as a biliary counterpart of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. In conclusion, biliary cystic tumors with bile duct communication could be regarded as intraductal papillary neoplasm with a prominent cystic dilatation of the bile duct and mucin retention, rather than true biliary cystic neoplasms.

Duodenal window revisited: A histological study using human fetuses

To assess the development of the duodenal window in fetuses, we examined semiserial histological sections of 59 human fetuses with a crown‐rump length of 27–156 mm (～4–18 weeks of gestation). In 44 of the 54 fetuses with horizontal sections, the duodenal window was formed by interdigitation of the anterior and posterior muscle slips from the proper duodenal circular muscle coat. The anterior slips approached the common bile duct from the anterior side and wound around the bile duct from the right aspect, whereas the posterior slips approached the main pancreatic duct from the posterior side, reaching the left or outer aspect of the duct without winding. These slips may become longitudinal muscles in the ampulla after birth. Six specimens showed variations in this typical pattern, in that the posterior muscle slips as well as the duodenal longitudinal muscle coat wound around the bile duct. In the remaining four specimens, we observed an abnormal union of the bile and pancreatic ducts, with the duodenal circular muscles suddenly ending along the window or slightly inserted into the right side of the common duct after joining. In all later‐stage fetuses, the common sphincter surrounded both the bile and pancreatic ducts in the ampulla. Consequently, at and along the duodenal window, the proper duodenal circular muscle seemed to contribute to fetal sphincter formation. The window was not a simple hiatus but a functional interface between the sphincter and the duodenal wall. Clin. Anat. 26:598–609, 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Analysis of the arterial supply of the extrahepatic bile ducts and its clinical significance

The purpose of this study is to describe the arterial supply of the entire extrahepatic bile duct system. The cross‐sectional area of all arteries that supply the ducts is measured under an operating microscope in 50 adult cadavers injected with red latex through the aorta. The extrahepatic bile duct system is divided into four topographic portions: cystic duct and gallbladder, right and left hepatic ducts, bile (common) duct and including its supra‐retroduodenal parts, and the pancreatic and intraduodenal portions. The arterial supply to each portion is carefully detailed. The ducts are supplied by more than seven arteries, of which the major arteries are the cystic artery, posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery, right hepatic artery, and retroportal artery. Collectively they provide 94.5% of the blood supply to the ducts. Arteries form three types of anastomotic patterns on the walls of the ducts, suggesting that ductal incisions can be made in ways that least disturb the blood supply. The patterns are: a network, a longitudinal anastomotic chain, and an arterial circle. These data emphasize the importance of the arterial supply in biliary surgery and especially the treatment of hemobilia. Clin. Anat. 12:245–249, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

Pancreatographic investigation of the pancreatic duct system

Background Embryologically, the pancreatic duct system develops by the fusion between the dorsal and ventral pancreatic bud ducts. It has been suggested that the proximal part of the main dorsal pancreatic duct partially regresses to form the accessory pancreatic duct (APD). Aim of this study was to clarify the anatomy of the pancreatic duct system of the head of the pancreas and investigate the embryology of the normal pancreatic duct system. Methods We reviewed endoscopic retrograde pancreatography of normal pancreatic heads (n = 256) and pancreas divisum (n = 36), focusing on long inferior branches arising from the APD and the main pancreatic duct (MPD). The accessory pancreatograms were divided into two patterns of course and shape, the long type (171 cases) and the short type (85 cases) according to the length of the MPD from the orifice to the junction with the APD. The long-type APD formed a straight line and joined the MPD at the neck portion of the pancreas. The short-type APD joined the MPD near its first inferior branch. Results The shape of the long-type APD was quite similar to that of the dorsal pancreatic duct of pancreas divisum. The short-type APD was less likely to have a long inferior branch arising from the APD. The length of the APD from the orifice to the first long inferior branch was similar in the long-type APD (19.4 ± 4.0 mm) and in the short-type APD (18.8 ± 4.2 mm). The first long inferior branch from the long-type APD passed though the MPD near the origin of the inferior branch from the MPD, whereas the short-type APD joined the MPD near its inferior branch. Conclusions There are two types of APD. The long-type APD was quite similar to the shape of the dorsal pancreatic duct of pancreas divisum, and seems to represent a continuation of the main duct of the dorsal pancreatic bud. The short-type APD was less likely to have a long inferior branch, and seems to be formed by the most proximal part of the main duct of the dorsal pancreatic bud and its long inferior branch.     

Type I Choledochal Cyst Complicated With Acute Hemorrhagic Pancreatitis: A Case Report

Choledochal cysts rarely present with acute pancreatitis. We report a patient with type I choledochal cyst(s) who had concomitant acute frank hemorrhagic pancreatitis.A 14-year-old male noted with a history of recurrent abdominal pain, fever and jaundice. Ultrasonography (US) of abdomen at the Emergency Department depicted distended gall bladder with wall thickening. Apparently dilated intrahepatic ducts (IHDs) and fusiform dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD), and mild dilatation of the pancreatic duct were also noted, suggesting a type I choledochal cyst( ). Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated calcifications in the uncinate process of the pancreas in addition to the similar findings on US. He subsequently underwent choledochal cyst excision with a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. After surgical treatment, he has been doing well for 3 years.     

Small cell carcinoma of the extrahepatic bile duct: case report and immunohistochemical analysis

A small cell carcinoma of the extrahepatic bile duct in a 75-year-old Japanese man is reported. The patient suffered from obstructive jaundice, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography-drainage (PTCD) revealed a massive lesion in the lower common bile duct. Because it was diagnosed as a malignant tumor, pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. A nodular infiltrating tumor measuring 4.5 x 3.0 x 2.0 cm was located in the intrapancreatic portion of the extrahepatic bile duct. Histologically, the tumor was composed of a dense proliferation of small atypical cells with a little region of high-grade dysplasia in the adjacent epithelium of the common bile duct. Tumor cells were immunoreactive to neuroendocrine markers such as chromogranin A, synaptophysin, CD56, and Leu7. Although carcinoma cells invaded into pancreas and duodenum, there were no histological findings that indicated the carcinoma arose from the mucosa of either the pancreatic duct or duodenum. These results indicated that the tumor was a small cell carcinoma derived from the epithelium of the extrahepatic bile duct; a rare neoplasm with only a few cases reported. A few neuroendocrine cells were recognized in the adjacent epithelium of the extrahepatic bile duct, suggesting that the tumor cells might be derived from them. Using immunohistochemical examination, no p53 abnormality was found. Tumor cells showed positive nuclear staining for p16, while negative for cyclin D1, suggesting that functional retinoblastoma protein (pRB) might be lost in the p16/pRB pathway, as in small cell lung cancer.     

Management strategy for congenital choledochal cyst with co-existing intrahepatic dilation and aberrant bile duct as well as other complicated biliary anomalies

The purpose of this study was to investigate and discuss imaging methods and management strategies for congenital choledochal cyst with co-existing intrahepatic dilation and aberrant bile duct as well as other complicated biliary anomalies. In this study we reviewed and analyzed 72 patients with congenital choledochal cyst, ranging in age from 15 days to 12 years old and who were seen at our hospital during the past 12 years, from January 1993 to October 2005. The image manifestation and clinical significance of patients with co- existing intrahepatic biliary dilation and aberrant bile duct were carefully examined during operation via MRCP, cholangiography and choledochoscope. Twenty-two cases (30.1%) presented with intrahepatic bile duct dilation and 12 of these were of the cystic type. That is, the orifice of the dilated intrahepatic tract that converged into the common hepatic duct showed membrane or septum-like stenosis. In 10 cases the dilation tapered off from the porta hepatis to the initiating terminals of the intra-hepatic bile ducts and was not accompanied by stenosis. An aberrant bile duct was observed in 2 of the cases. In 3 cases, the right and left hepatic ducts converged at the choledochal cyst. In conclusion, the imaging methods for intrahepatic bile duct dilation possess important clinical significance. Further, for hepatojejunostomy with radical excision of a choledochal cyst, additional operative procedures for intrahepatic stenosis, possible bile duct malformation and pancreaticobiliary common duct calculi can potentially reduce postoperative complications.
