Abstract
Bile duct tumors can be broadly classified into benign, premalignant and malignant tumors as per the histologic findings, and into intrahepatic and extrahepatic tumors based on their location [1]. Most of these tumors are malignant. Bile duct adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the bile ducts, though it is rare. Premalignant bile duct tumors include biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (Bi1IN) and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPN-B). Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is the commonest primary malignancy of the bile ducts [2]. It is predominantly adenocarcinoma (95% of cases), although other histologic types including squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma and sarcomas have been described.
