Abstract

Laparoscopic hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (LHPD) is a complex surgical procedure with high rates of complications and mortality and is performed in a limited number of medical centers. The present study reports a case of a synchronous primary malignant tumor of the left hepatic common bile ducts. A 63‑year‑old male was admitted to Affiliated Jinhua Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (Jinhua, China) with a 1 week history of right upper abdominal distension and pain associated with yellow sclera. Preoperative CT and MRI imaging demonstrated a synchronous primary malignant tumor of the left hepatic and common bile ducts; therefore, laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed. There was no biliary or pancreatic leakage following the operation and the patient was discharged 16 days later. Postoperative pathology verified that the synchronous primary cholangiocarcinoma originated in the left hepatic and common bile ducts. Therefore, LHPD for synchronous primary cholangiocarcinoma may be a safe and feasible treatment for this condition.
