Biliary Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm: a Classic Presentation of a Rare Neoplasm

  • Published:
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery

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.
