Abstract
Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM), a congenital anomaly in which the junction of the biliary and pancreatic ducts lies outside of the duodenal wall, has been associated with various biliary diseases, including choledochal cyst, gallbladder carcinoma, and gallbladder adenomyomatosis. In our study of patients undergoing ERCP for pancreaticobiliary conditions in Taiwan, the prevalence of PBM was 8.7%. PBM can be further classified into the B-P type (i.e., the common bile duct joins the pancreatic duct) and P-B type (i.e., the pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct). Choledochal cyst is the most commonly reported biliary disease associated with PBM. In our study, the prevalence of PBM in patients with choledochal cyst and gallbladder cancer were 93.8% and 62.5%, respectively. Notably, PBMs in patients with choledochal cyst were mostly of the B-P type, whereas PBMs in patients with gallbladder carcinoma were mostly of the P-B type. This chapter summarizes the literature on PBM from Taiwan.
