Carcinoid Tumor of the Cystic Duct: Case Report, Literature Review and Comparison of Surgical Approaches

Abstract

We present the case of a 48-year-old female with a cystic duct carcinoid that was found incidentally upon laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient subsequently underwent excision of the cystic duct remnant. This is the tenth reported case of a cystic duct carcinoid and the second reported laparoscopic excision.
