Abstract:
There has been an increase in the number of reported cases of biliary neoplasm of the hepatobiliary system characterized by markedly dilated and multifocal papillary epithelial lesions of the bile ducts or cystic biliary lesions with or without mucin secretion, and mucinous lesions or tumors, possibly due to recent advances in radiological diagnosis. This lesion of the bile duct is believed to show a better clinical course than non-papillary biliary neoplasm. Therefore, the early recognition and treatment is important. We report two cases of intrahepatic and extrahepatic intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct that were completely resected.
