Abstract

A 55-year-old woman underwent a laparotomy with a preoperative diagnosis of cholelithiasis. During operation, a mass occupying the cystic duct was found and intraoperative frozen section diagnosis was made with primary carcinoma of the cystic duct. Primary cystic duct carcinoma is rare. We found 15 cases of the disease in the Japanese literature, of which only four cases were diagnosed preoperatively. Of the methods currently used for diagnosis of this disease, endoscopic ultrasonography may be the most useful when the cystic duct is obstructed.
