Аннотация
RATIONALE: Neuroendocrine carcinoma originating from extrahepatic bile duct is very rare, and only a few cases have been reported. Because of its scarcity of incidence, not much is known about the disease but for its aggressiveness and poor prognosis.
PATIENT CONCERNS: In this report, we present 2 cases of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) originating from extrahepatic bile duct. Case 1: a 60-year-old woman presented with jaundice but no abdominal pain. Case 2: a 67-year-old man also presented with jaundice, along with abdominal discomfort and appetite loss.
DIAGNOSES: Case 1: LCNEC with a focal adenocarcinoma component (pT2aN1M0, pStage IIIB). Case 2: LCNEC with a focal adenocarcinoma component (pT1N1M0, pStage IIB).
INTERVENTIONS: Case 1: the patient underwent left hepatectomy and caudatectomy with hepaticojejunostomy, followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (etoposide and cisplatin). Case 2: the patient underwent laparoscopic pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (etoposide and cisplatin).
OUTCOMES: Case 1: liver metastasis was detected 6 months postoperatively, and despite multiple chemotherapy regimens, the patient died 24 months post-surgery. Case 2: liver metastasis was detected 23 months postoperatively. The patient is still alive 36 months post-surgery after receiving multiple chemotherapy regimens and radiotherapy.
LESSONS: Given the rarity of LCNEC, it is essential to continue collecting and reporting additional case studies to build a more comprehensive understanding of the disease. Although the prognosis for LCNEC is generally poor, the use of a multidisciplinary approach and further research will be critical in developing more effective treatment strategies in the future.
