## Overview[edit | edit source]

Surgical resection of tumor is the mainstay of treatment for biliary cystadenoma. Complete enucleation of the cyst is a safe and effective treatment for biliary cystadenoma and hepatic resection is a suitable treatment option for biliary cystadenocarcinoma.

## Surgery[edit | edit source]

* The possibility for recurrence or malignant transformation justify an aggressive approach to biliary cystadenoma.[1]
* Since biliary cystadenoma cannot be easily differentiated preoperatively or intraoperatively from cystadenocarcinoma total surgical resection should always be considered.[2]
* Moreover techniques such as aspiration, fenestration, internal drainage, intratumoral sclerosant application or partial resection have disappointing results since recurrence rate is extremely high
* Complete enucleation of the cyst is a safe and effective treatment for biliary cystadenoma.
* Hepatic resection is a suitable treatment option for biliary cystadenocarcinoma.
