Role of Cholangioscopy in The Longitudinal Spreading Assessment of Biliar Intraepithelial Neoplasia
A 67-year-old man underwent ERCP for choledocolithiasis and dilated CBD-10mm. A 6-7mm round defect in middle CBD, fixed and unremovable with balloon catheter, was found. Sphincterotomy and extraction of biliary sludge and adenomatous like tissue sphacelus were performed. Brush-citology and intraductal-forceps-biopsy reported intraepithelial adenocarcinoma with microinfiltration.
A single-operator-digital-cholangioscopy (SpyGlass DS-II) showed affected CBD from 1cm into duodenal major-papilla until hepatic-bile-duct confluence. Complete CBD circumference was affected, observing adenomatous like mucosa, fibrosis, irregular vessels, friability and a nodular area with a 3mm diameter stricture, that was overcome with cholangioscope pressure. Due to this accurate diagnosis, a successful curative resection was performed.
