Abstract
Background
The relationship between adenomyomatous hyperplasia of the Vaterian system(AV) and cancer is unclear, some reports suggest that AV is often combined with mucosal glandular dysplasia, but it is not clear whether mucosal glandular dysplasia is a risk factor for carcinogenesis of AV. The aim of this study was to retrospective analysis of role of ductal glandular dysplasia as a risk factor in the development of carcinoma in AV.
Methods
A total of 328 cases who underwent surgery with a final pathological diagnosis of adenomyomatous hyperplasia (AH) in the Chinese PLA General Hospital in BeiJing, China, between January 2005 and December 2021 were retrospectively collected. There were Seventeen cases(5%) in which the lesions were located in the common bile duct as well as the ampulla of Vater, and their clinical (age, sex, etc.), imaging (cholelithiasis, etc.) and pathological data (mucosal glandular dysplasia, etc.) were collected. Clinical data and pathological features of AV with or without mucosal glandular dysplasia were analyzed.
Results
There were 17 out of 328 cases of AH occurring in the Vaterian system (5%). Three of seventeen AV cases were associated with carcinoma (18%). Of three cases, two (12%) with the tumor lesions in the mucosal glands adjacent to the AH (biliary tract cancer and ampullary cancer), and one (6%) with carcinoma developed from AH itself in the ampulla of Vater. All carcinomas had adenomyomatous hyperplasia with nearby mucosal glandular dysplasia (MGD). The percentage of BTC or AC was higher in patients with concurrent AH and MGD compared to AH patients without MGD. The results show tendency toward statistical significance (P = 0.082). This difference was more obvious among AH with severe dysplasia compared to adenomyomatous hyperplasia with mild-moderate dysplasia (P = 0.018).
Conclusion
This study is the first to find that AV is associated with biliary tract cancer and ampullary cancer. In AV, the mucosal glandular dysplasia may be a risk factor for the development of malignancy. The underlying mechanism for carcinogenesis of AV could be AH itself or its secretions stimulating mucosal glands hyperplasia, then mucosal glands dysplasia. AV may be a precancerous lesion.
