Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction or APBJ describes an abnormality where the pancreatic and bile ducts unite outside the duodenal wall and form a long common channel (> 15 mm). [1]
- The anomalous junction is often associated with a choledochal cyst or a biliary tract carcinoma.
- Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction may result in acute pancreatitis.
