Background: Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is a congenital malformation in which the pancreatic duct and bile duct anatomically merge outside the duodenal wall, and is associated with a high rate of biliary cancer. It has been reported that TP53 and KRAS mutations are found not only in the cancerous area but also in the noncancerous area. However, there is no report of precise mapping of genetic mutations throughout the gallbladder and bile ducts. Methods: Ninety-seven patients (including 31 patients with biliary cancer) who underwent cholecystectomy and cholangiectomy for PBM between 1990 and 2023 at our hospital and affiliated hospitals were included in the study, and consent forms were obtained from 36 patients. The panel targeting 60 genes frequently identified in biliary tract cancer was created in-house and deep sequenced to compare with clinicopathological features. To date, we have analyzed 4 patients with biliary tract cancer and 5 patients without it (with prophylactic resection). The same analysis was also performed on cancerous and noncancerous parts of patients of gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma without confluence abnormalities for comparison. Results: A total of 33 Samples (7 cancerous parts and 26 noncancerous parts) were examined for biliary tract cancer. We found a variety of functional gene abnormalities, including driver mutations such as TP53, ARID2, and BRCA2, in 9 non-cancerous areas including hyperplasia and normal bile duct mucosa. Some of these mutations were not shared with cancerous areas. On the other hand, in 46 samples from 5 patients who did not develop gallbladder cancer (prophylactic resection), Driver mutations were found in only 3 sites. Pathological findings of dysplasia/hyperplasia in these prophylactic resections were observed in 28 of the 46 sections. In addition, Driver mutations were rarely observed in noncancerous areas in patients with normal gallbladder or cholangiocarcinoma. Conclusions: Unlike conventional biliary tract cancers, the patients with PBM showed a great variety of genetic abnormalities in both cancerous and noncancerous areas. On the other hand, in patients of prophylactic resection without cancer, driver mutations were almost completely absent despite the presence of mucosal changes. We believe that these findings can develop better strategy for biliary cancers with PBM.
