Finally, doctors told her the news: Baby Hayes' organs were developing on the outside of his body. The condition, known as an omphalocele, is a birth defect in which the fetus' intestines and other abdominal organs stick out from the belly button. Once we heard the word, 'omphalocele,' it was our world, said Davis, 29, of Texas. A thin membrane that keeps the organs in tact usually covers the omphalocele. While the condition can range in size and severity, the intestines, and sometimes the liver and spleen, protrude outside the baby's body.
Just outside of the liver (extrahepatic or perihilar) located at the notch of the liver where the bile ducts exit; Far outside of the liver (distal extrahepatic) near where the bile ducts enter the intestine (called the ampulla of Vater) Bile duct cancers are most commonly found just outside of the liver in the perihilar area and least commonly found within the liver. The incidence of bile duct cancer increases with age. It is a slow-growing cancer that invades local structures and for that reason, the diagnosis is often made late in the disease process when the bile ducts become blocked.
