| 1 | Biliary tract schwannoma:A rare cause of obstructive jaundice in a young patient显示文摘Schwannoma is a tumor derived from Schwann cells which usually arises in the upper extremities, trunk, head and neck, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, pelvis, and peritoneum. However, it can arise in the gastro-intestinal tract, including biliary tract. We present a 24-year-old male patient with obstructive jaundice, whose investigation with computed tomography abdomen showed focal wall thickening in the common hepatic duct, difficult to differentiate with hilar adenocarcinoma. He was diagnosed intraoperatively schwannoma of common bile duct and treated with local resection. The patient recovered well without signs of recurrence of the lesion after 12 mo. We also reviewed the common bile duct schwannoma related in the literature and evaluated the difficulty in pre and intraoperative differential diagnosis with adenocarcinoma hilar. Resection is the treatment of choice for such cases and the tumordid not recur in any of the resected cases. | Gilton Marques Fonseca André Luis Montagnini Manoel de Souza Rocha Rosely Antunes Patzina Mário Vinícius Angelete Alvarez Bernardes Ivan Cecconello José Jukemura | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，37： | 10 |
