Abstract:
Carcinoid tumors are derived from Kultschitzky cells, and often found in the appendix, ileum, rectum and bronchus, but those of the biliary tract are rare. Here, the case of a 59-year-old man, unexpectedly found to have a carcinoid tumor obstructing the common bile duct, is reported. A gallbladder carcinoid tumor was also found incidentally during a planned subtotal gastrectomy operation. The literature on carcinoid tumors of the extrahepatic bile duct and gall bladder is also reviewed.
