An operative case of gastric cancer with ectopic bile duct drainage in the lesser curvature of the stomach.
Surgical Case Reports 2024 March 22
BACKGROUND: Among the various anomalies of the biliary system, a double common bile duct with ectopic drainage in the stomach is rare. Furthermore, ectopic bile ducts are extremely rare in gastric cancers.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with gastric cancer and ectopic left extrahepatic bile duct drainage in the stomach. Pre-operative testing revealed no communication between the intrahepatic bile ducts. Distal gastrectomy and bile duct jejunostomy were performed. The post-operative course was uneventful, and the patient did not exhibit recurrence for 39 mo.
CONCLUSIONS: Although it is uncertain whether sustained bile exposure from an ectopic bile duct is related to gastric cancer, short-term follow-up might be necessary because of the possibility of gastric cancer.
