Early Detection of High-grade Biliary Intraepithelial Neoplasia (BilIN-3) in the Cystic Duct Visualized by SpyGlass DS Cholangioscopy. Intern Med. 2020 Sep 05;: Authors: Miyabe K, Notohara K, Asano G, Kato A, Jinno N, Natsume M, Hori Y, Yoshida M, Naitoh I, Tsuboi K, Matsuo Y, Ohara H, Hayashi K, Kataoka H Abstract An 84-year-old man was admitted with epigastralgia. Computed tomography showed contrast-enhanced wall thickness in the cystic duct. An endoscopic examination revealed short irregular stricture in the cystic duct, and per-oral cholangioscopy revealed a reddish papillary tumor at the stricture site. Surgical resection revealed high-grade biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) at the stricture site of the cystic duct. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a solitary high-grade BilIN epithelium in the cystic duct detected by per-oral cholangioscopy. PMID: 32893228 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
