An intriguing case of bile duct obstruction

Benign tumours of bile ducts are a rare finding in biliary surgery, most common being adenomas and papillomas, now referred to as intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB).The patient presented with common symptoms and signs of biliary tract obstruction. A malignant process was suspected and imaging was indicated. MR and MRCP both showed a T2- weighted hypointense lesion, morphologically matching a pedunculated polypoid mass arising from CBD wall of normal width.
