The propensity for colorectal liver metastasis to invade the biliary tree is increasingly recognized, placing particular emphasis on the risk of postoperative recurrence. This article illustrates the spectrum of imaging findings when colorectal metastasis invades the biliary tree. CONCLUSION. Knowledge of the imaging features of intrabiliary invasion by colorectal liver metastasis improves the quality of preoperative staging and is crucial in an era in which nonanatomic wedge resection and radiofrequency ablation are routinely performed. I nvasion of the bile ducts by colorectal liver metastasis is a pattern of dissemination that has been discussed predominantly in the surgical and pathologic literature. Identification of this growth pattern on cross-sectional imaging is critical to preoperative staging [1 3]. Over the past decade, the rate of hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastasis has increased, and long-term survival rates have improved. These results are due to advances in chemotherapy and surgical techniques combined with high-quality imaging for treatment planning. Unrecognized bile duct involvement of colorectal liver metastasis increases the likelihood of incomplete tumor clearance because the true extent of the disease is underestimated [1 4]. In addition, the propensity for biliary invasion by colorectal liver metastasis may lead to unanticipated postoperative recurrences that are confined to the biliary tree [1]. Finally, biliary invasion by colorectal liver metastasis may be misleading because it can mimic primary biliary neoplasia [5, 6]. The purpose of this article is to present the spectrum of CT findings of biliary involvement of metastatic colorectal liver metastasis and the unique patterns of recurrence after hepatic resection in the presence of unrecognized biliary invasion. Liver metastases are rarely associated with bile duct dilatation. However, Jhaveri et al. [7] showed that, in a cohort of 297 patients, the incidence of biliary dilatation with colorectal liver metastasis was 16.5%, whereas that with other tumor types was only 3.0%. Okano et al. [8] showed that, in a cohort of 149 patients, macroscopic tumoral invasion of the bile ducts occurred in 12% of patients and microscopic invasion occurred in 29% of patients. These data suggest that biliary involvement by colorectal liver metastasis is underrecognized. ile duct invasion by colorectal liver metastasis can be secondary to intraductal tumor growth, as seen with papillary cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, or to perineural or peribiliary infiltration, as seen with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. In colorectal liver metastasis, tumor cells spread along intact basement membranes and replace the nonneoplastic ductal epithelium with formation of papillary projections in the larger ducts, mimicking papillary cholangiocarcinoma [2, 9, 10]. Macroscopic biliary invasion can be detected on cross-sectional images [4 6, 8]. Involved ducts are dilated, are of soft-tissue attenuation, and may be seen upstream or downstream from the neoplastic mass. Fine punctate calcifications may be present within the intraductal component of the tumor at the time of diagnosis [5]. ile ducts that are obstructed without intraductal invasion are of water attenuation and always located upstream of the obstruction (Fig. 1). iliary invasion can affect intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts. For practical purposes, we have classified biliary involvement of colorectal liver metastasis anatomically into two categories: peripheral (involvement of second-order and smaller bile ducts) and central (involvement of the first-order and extrahepatic bile ducts).these two types of W582 JR:201, October 2013
2 involvement are distinct in their clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, recurrence patterns, and management. Imaging Technique t our institution, patients with hepatic colorectal metastasis are evaluated routinely with single-phase helical CT obtained during the portal phase (4-, 16-, or 64-MDCT Light- Speed, GE Healthcare). Most patients who are eligible for resection undergo a multiphasic liver protocol. Optimally, the liver protocol should be performed before neoadjuvant chemotherapy at a time when metastases are most obvious and the risk of missing them is lower. lthough the diagnosis of biliary invasion does not require a liver protocol, a subtle invasion, such as small parenchymal metastasis, is easier to identify on a multiphasic study. This technique is supported by the very rare detection in our surgeons experience of additional disease at intraoperative sonography or palpation. The arterial phase provides an exquisite depiction of the vascular anatomy, which is important to surgical planning. liver protocol includes an unenhanced evaluation of the liver followed by a late arterial phase, portal phase, and delayed phase. Scanning is performed at 30 seconds, 60 seconds, and approximately 3 minutes after the start of injection. The injection rate is 3 5 ml/s. Image reconstruction thicknesses used for diagnostic interpretation are 2.5 and 5 mm for multiphasic techniques and 5 mm for single-phase techniques. lthough a highquality single portal phase study is sufficient in many cases, in our experience, the liver protocol improves the detection and characterization of small lesions, allowing optimal surgical planning. Peripheral iliary Involvement Preoperative Diagnosis The radiographic spectrum of peripheral biliary involvement ranges from cases in which a neoplastic mass is the dominant lesion to cases in which biliary dilatation is the main observation and the neoplastic mass is very small or, rarely, radiographically absent. ecause of its peripheral location, the biliary invasion is clinically silent. Regardless of the relative extent of ductal involvement, the association of a mass with an abnormal bile duct or ducts, particularly downstream from the mass, should lead one to consider the possibility of biliary invasion. Frequently encountered patterns of peripheral biliary involvement are discussed in this section. Metastasis with obvious ductal invasion Most often, a parenchymal metastasis is associated with one or more dilated bile ducts (Figs. 2 and 3). The dilated ducts can be seen upstream or downstream from the metastasis and vary in length. The metastasis may be small or large. Metastasis with subtle ductal invasion Colorectal liver metastasis may invade a short segment of a peripheral duct (Figs. 4 and 5). In some cases, biliary invasion is detected only by recognizing that a nodule that persists from one slice to the next is, in reality, the cross-section of a dilated duct usually seen along the corresponding opacified portal venule (Fig. 6). Subtle peripheral bile duct invasion is easily overlooked in the absence of high-quality imaging technique combined with careful review of orthogonal planes. Peripheral bile duct invasion without an obvious parenchymal metastasis hepatic mass may be very small and not definable on imaging, with radiographic findings suggesting that involvement is limited to the biliary tree. This appears as a linear area of soft-tissue attenuation occasionally seen as a branching structure simulating a small portal thrombus (Figs. 7 and 8). The risk of confusing biliary obstruction with portal thrombus is compounded by the fact that both are associated with increased arterial perfusion [10]. In such cases, a diagnosis of metastasis may not be considered because of the absence of a soft-tissue mass. The important point here is that the focal area of increased arterial flow should not be systematically dismissed and assumed to result from a small bland thrombus, which is a relatively common event, particularly after laparotomy. Visualization of an opacified venule paired with the dilated duct helps in the differential diagnosis. Tumor thrombi do occur in colorectal liver metastasis but are exceedingly rare. Linear or punctate calcification indicative of intrabiliary metastasis Colorectal liver metastases are frequently calcified. Likewise, biliary extension may appear as subtle calcifications distributed in a linear pattern best seen on unenhanced images (Fig. 9). Patterns of Recurrence and Management The hallmark and risk of bile duct involvement by colorectal liver metastasis is that the tumors can grow longitudinally, extending beyond the confines of the main parenchymal neoplastic mass. In nonanatomic wedge resection, the surgical margin may be too narrow to encompass the involved duct or ducts. Consequently, the presence of peripheral biliary invasion contraindicates nonanatomic wedge resections and favors formal anatomic left or right hepatic resection. The risk of insufficient margin must also be considered when performing radiofrequency ablation. In cases in which intrabiliary invasion is not preoperatively recognized, resection or ablation can be incomplete and expose the patient to the risk of local recurrence in the liver remnant (Figs. 5 and 6). Central iliary Involvement Preoperative Diagnosis Colorectal liver metastasis that invades first-order bile ducts and extrahepatic ducts may create a central biliary obstruction that results in jaundice. Diagnosis of metastasis to the central bile ducts may be difficult when the history of colorectal liver metastasis is remote and an intrahepatic mass is not present. In such cases, the clinical and radiographic pattern can mimic that of papillary cholangiocarcinomas, and diagnosis relies on clinical history and pathologic analysis [5, 6]. Frequently encountered patterns of central biliary involvement are discussed in this section. Central bile duct invasion with intrahepatic metastasis Involvement of the firstorder bile ducts and extrahepatic ducts by colorectal liver metastasis can be a consequence of contiguous downstream involvement of the biliary tree by peripherally located tumors (Fig. 10). Central bile duct invasion without obvious intrahepatic metastasis Colorectal liver metastasis can involve the first-order bile ducts without obvious parenchymal metastasis: in such cases, the disease appears to be limited to the bile ducts. The main barrier to diagnosis of this presentation is the risk of confusion of the metastasis with a primary bile duct malignancy, particularly because the metastasis may develop several years after resection of the primary tumor [2] (Figs. 9 and 11). Sometimes, a very small liver metastasis near the biliary hilum can invade the first-order bile duct and be difficult to detect because of its size (Fig. 12). Patterns of Recurrence and Management fter resection, patients with central biliary involvement may have isolated intrabiliary recurrences. iliary recurrence may precede the development of parenchymal metastasis (Figs. 12 and 13). With central biliary obstruction, the consideration is for an extrahepatic bile duct resection with the JR:201, October 2013 W583
3 Peungjesada et al. need for bilioenteric reconstruction, which is otherwise rare in the surgical management of colorectal liver metastases. Without proper recognition of the presence and extent of biliary invasion, noncurative resections are likely to be performed with adverse shortand long-term outcomes for the patient. Conclusion The propensity for colorectal liver metastasis to invade the bile ducts is now well recognized. Various patterns of radiologic presentation are described here. Recognition of these patterns can improve surgical treatment planning and lower the risk of local recurrence. The use of high-resolution studies performed before neoadjuvant chemotherapy is crucial because biliary invasion of colorectal liver metastasis may be subtle or concealed by the response to chemotherapy.
