Mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasms are exceedingly rare tumors, especially those of gallbladder origin. Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction is an uncommon congenital abnormality that can predispose various types of hepatobiliary malignancies. We present an unusual case of a 46-year-old woman with anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction who presented to the emergency department with nausea, vomiting, and right upper quadrant pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a gallbladder mass concerning for primary malignancy and liver lesions. Endoscopic ultrasound and fine-needle biopsy were valuable diagnostic tools used to sample the gallbladder, liver lesions, and common hepatic duct under one minimally invasive procedure. Pathology showed a gallbladder mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasms, with neuroendocrine components in the liver and adenocarcinoma components in the common hepatic duct.
混合性神经内分泌-非神经内分泌肿瘤是极其罕见的肿瘤,尤其是起源于胆囊的此类肿瘤。胰胆管异常汇合是一种不常见的先天性异常,可引发各种类型的肝胆恶性肿瘤。我们报告了一例不寻常的病例,一名46岁患有胰胆管异常汇合的女性因恶心、呕吐和右上腹疼痛就诊于急诊科。磁共振成像显示胆囊有一个可疑原发性恶性肿瘤的肿块以及肝脏病变。内镜超声和细针穿刺活检是在一项微创手术中用于对胆囊、肝脏病变和肝总管进行取样的有价值的诊断工具。病理显示为胆囊混合性神经内分泌-非神经内分泌肿瘤,肝脏中有神经内分泌成分,肝总管中有腺癌成分。
