Hi. I am a 57 y.o. female, 10 years post surgery removal of gall bladder recently dx w/ carpeting polyp in duodenum and just got a scan that show a 20 cm dilation of bile duct and possible liver involvement. I am trying to prepare myself for the worst...No jaundice or pain....could malignancy be involved?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have dilatation of bile duct.  You have history of gall bladder removal before 10 year. Furthermore, you may have some obstruction at distal end of bile duct. It can be due to stone, structure or periampullary carcinoma or other pathology.  Go for further investigation and search the exact cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
