Abstract    Although the cystic duct belongs to one part of the gallbladder, there exist differences in clinicopathological features between cystic duct carcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma, including tumor classification, demographic features, clinical manifestations, imaging, and pathological features. Radical (R0) resection remains the treatment of choice and the only hope of cure for cystic duct carcinoma. Hence, R0 resection should be attempted in patients with good general conditions and the absence of distant metastases. The surgical pattern should be adopted on the basis of tumor extent. There are still some controversies in the clinical understanding of cystic duct carcinoma, and it is necessary to further accumulate more and larger multi-center clinical research results, and further explore and elucidate the biological behavior characteristics of cystic duct carcinoma.

Key words: cystic duct carcinoma, type, imaging, pathology, radical surgery, prognosis
