Biliary mucinous cystadenomas are cystic neoplasms commonly mistaken for simple cysts. They are rare and generally benign tumors, often incidentally found on imaging and during unrelated surgical interventions. They tend to be slow growing though may reach symptomatic dimensions. Misdiagnosis of biliary mucinous cystadenomas may have serious consequences secondary to their potential for malignant transformation into biliary mucinous cystadenocarcinomas. Here, we review the epidemiology, etiology, pathology, diagnostic modalities, histology, and available treatment methods for mucinous cystadenomas reported in current literature.
胆管黏液性囊腺瘤是一种囊性肿瘤，常被误诊为单纯囊肿。它们是罕见的肿瘤，通常为良性，常在影像学检查或无关手术中偶然发现。虽然生长缓慢，但可能会发展到出现症状的大小。胆管黏液性囊腺瘤的误诊可能会导致严重后果，因为它们有可能恶变为胆管黏液性囊腺癌。在此，我们综述了当前文献中报道的黏液性囊腺瘤的流行病学、病因、病理、诊断方法、组织学及可用的治疗方法。
