Overview
History and Symptoms
- The clinical presentation of biliary cystadenoma is variable, depending on the size and location of the tumor.
- Typically, the patient is a middle-aged woman presenting with abdominal pain and/or discomfort, with distension and a palpable mass..[1]
- Acute presentation is often pain due to intracystic hemorrhage or rupture of the cyst and fever secondary to infection of the cyst.
- Rare presentations include vomiting, dyspepsia, anorexia, and weight loss.[1]
- In other cases, non specific signs and symptoms may develop, due to compression of neighboring structures, such as jaundice, signs of cholangitis, cyst infection, hemorrhage. Pain is considered the leading symptom in most series, being present in about 80% of cases.
- Jaundice is either due to an extrinsic compression of the bile duct, biliary obstruction by an intraluminal tumoural mass, or accretion of mucus secretion from a communicating biliary cystadenoma.
- Ascites is secondary to compression of the inferior vena cava or the hepatic veins. Cystadenomas are known to increase in size during pregnancy and following oral contraceptives suggesting hormonal dependency.
- Compression of the vena cava or the portal vein may cause lower limb edema or signs of portal hypertension such as splenomegaly.[2]
The clinical presentation of biliary cystadenoma is variable, depending on the size and location of the tumor. Potential symptoms include:[3]
- Right upper quadrant pain
- Increasing abdominal girth (large tumors)
- Abdominal fullness and bloating
- Nausea
- Vomiting
Biliary cystadenomas range in size from 3 to 40 cm. Large cystadenomas may demonstrate mass effect on adjacent organs or may be associated with hepatomegaly.
