| Abstract |
We report a rare case of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in the common bile duct (CBD). The patient is a 56-year-old female who presented to our department with symptoms of fever but without jaundice. A preoperative examination showed a tumor in the CBD. The tumor volume was almost 5.5 × 4.5 × 4 cm3, which is the biggest NET in the CBD reported on PubMed. The imaging results (computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) were not consistent with CBD adenocarcinoma. The tumor appeared to oppress the growth of the CBD rather than originate in the bile duct wall; combined with the low blood bilirubin index and lack of jaundice symptoms, the preoperative diagnosis was not clear. We performed a radical resection of the cholangiocarcinoma. The patient recovered well before going home. The pathology was NET (Grade 2). The patient showed no recurrence to date, without intravenous chemotherapy (8 months). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 April 2018.
All research outputs
#20,787,126
of 25,539,438 outputs
Outputs from OncoTargets and therapy
#1,609
of 3,021 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,015
of 344,214 outputs
Outputs of similar age from OncoTargets and therapy
#63
of 104 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,539,438 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,021 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,214 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 104 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
