Description
Summary:Biliary cystadenoma is a rare cystic tumor of the middle aged woman that usually arises in the liver or occasionally in the extrahepatic bile ducts.It has a strong potential for recurrence and for malignant tr ansformation.The lack of specific clinical and biological features hinders diagnosis before surgery.The spontaneous rupture of a hepatobiliary cystadenoma is a very rare and potentially life-threatening complication,with only two reported cases in the English literature.We report a case with spontaneous rupture of a recurrent hepatobiliary cystadenoma in a 32 year-old woman.
