- The possibility for recurrence or malignant transformation justify an aggressive approach to biliary cystadenoma.[1]
- Since biliary cystadenoma cannot be easily differentiated preoperatively or intraoperatively from cystadenocarcinoma total surgical resection should always be considered.[2]
- Moreover techniques such as aspiration, fenestration, internal drainage, intratumoral sclerosant application or partial resection have disappointing results since recurrence rate is extremely high
- Complete enucleation of the cyst is a safe and effective treatment for biliary cystadenoma.
- Hepatic resection is a suitable treatment option for biliary cystadenocarcinoma.
