12. A 75- year- old man presented with a two- month history of progressive jaundice and weight loss. An MRCP showed a suspicious stricture in the mid CBD.
Which of the following is an established risk factor for CCA?

13. A 55- year- old man with a history of recurrent pancreatitis presented with a one- week history of painless jaundice. Ultrasound and MRCP revealed dilated common hepatic and intrahepatic ducts with suspicion of a distal CBD stricture. Staging CT revealed no mass lesion, vessel, or nodal involvement. Cholangiogram at ERCP conrmed a short distal CBD stricture. Brush cytology was obtained and the stricture was stented (Fig. 4.5).

17. A 30- year- old woman was reviewed in clinic after a recent inpatient stay with cholangitis. During her admission, an ultrasound scan showed a dilated CBD. Subsequent ERCP did not reveal choledocholithiasis but it did show a fusiform dilatation of the CBD. An MRCP was arranged as an outpatient, which conrmed spindle- like dilatation along the length of the CBD. Adiagnosis of choledochal cyst type Iwas made. The patient was currently asymptomatic.

ANSWERS
1. E. Twenty per cent chance of developing biliary colic
• Asymptomatic gallstones have a 20% chance of becoming symptomatic with biliary colic over the next 0years
• Asymptomatic gallstones have a low (2%– 3%) risk of being complicated by pancreatitis, cholecystitis, or biliary obstruction, and therefore cholecystectomy is not routinely recommended
Asymptomatic gallstones are found in 0%– 20% of the global adult population and generally do not require therapy. Patients with asymptomatic gallstones have a 20% chance of becoming symptomatic with biliary colic over the next 0years. The onset of gallstone- associated pain indicates a higher chance of developing complications (cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis) and provides a rational for cholecystectomy in symptomatic patients unless surgical risk is prohibitive. Patients with asymptomatic gallstones only have a 2%– 3% chance of developing pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and biliary obstruction, and cholecystectomy is therefore not recommended for patients with asymptomatic stones. Mirizzi’s syndrome is a rare complication of gallstones. It refers to biliary obstruction with jaundice either as a direct consequence of stone impaction or from inammation when a large stone resides in Hartmann’s pouch of the gallbladder. This causes obstructive jaundice via pressure on the CBD and is treated with cholecystectomy.

2. B. Adenomyomatosis
• ADM is a benign cause of gallbladder thickening that is commonly asymptomatic
• Histologically, it is characterized by outpouchings of the mucosa into thickened muscle wall (Rokitansky– Ascho sinuses)
• Care must be taken to dierentiate ADM from gallbladder carcinoma, which may be aided by use of MRCP
Gallbladder ADM is a relatively common, asymptomatic, and benign cause of diuse or focal gallbladder wall thickening, which is commonly identied incidentally during investigation for other pathologies. Histologically, it is characterized by epithelial proliferation and hypertrophy of the muscles of the gallbladder wall with outpouchings of the mucosa into thickened muscular layer, known as ‘Rokitansky– Ascho sinuses’. ADM is identied in %– 9% of cholecystectomy specimens and is associated with gallstones in >50% of cases. While ADM is a benign condition, it must be dierentiated from gallbladder carcinoma, which carries a very poor prognosis. Ultrasound is often the rst- line diagnostic test with MRCP reserved for cases when an experienced radiologist cannot
