Mixed neuroendocrine–non-neuroendocrine neoplasm with mucinous adenocarcinoma and amphicrine carcinoma components in the bile duct: an autopsy case
We report the first case of bile duct mixed neuroendocrine–non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) that had a mucinous carcinoma component. An...

A proposed feasible classification of common bile duct duplications based on a newly described variant and review of existing literature
BackgroundDuplication of the common bile duct (CBD) is extremely rare among the anatomical variations in the biliary tract system, which presents a...

Minimally invasive versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal bile duct cancer: an inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis of outcomes
BackgroundMinimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) has been extended to periampullary cancers, but the oncologic outcome of MIPD for distal...
