Abstract

Biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms (BMCNs) are uncommon neoplastic septated intrahepatic cysts which are often incorrectly diagnosed and have the potential for malignant transformation. To assess the outcome of surgical resection of BMCNs. A prospective liver surgery database was used to identify patients who underwent surgery at Groote Schuur Hospital Complex for BMCN from 1999 to 2015. Demographic variables including age and gender were documented as well as detailed preoperative imaging, location and size, operative treatment, extent of resection, histology, postoperative complications and outcome. Thirteen female patients (median age 45 years) had surgery. Eleven were diagnosed by imaging for symptoms. Two were jaundiced. One cyst was found during an elective cholecystectomy. Five cysts were located centrally in the liver. Before referral three cysts were treated with percutaneous drainage and two were treated with operative deroofing. Six patients had anatomical liver resections and seven patients had non anatomical liver resections of which two needed ablation of residual cyst wall. One patient needed a biliary-enteric reconstruction to treat a fistula. Median operative time was 183 minutes (range: 130-375). No invasive ca...Continue Reading
