Protruding biliary lesions are uncommon findings during radiological or endoscopic evaluation of biliary tree.

Clinical presentation can mimic neoplastic obstruction or stones, arising with abdominal pain, jaundice, fever, itching, and cholestasis.

They were previously discovered as incidental findings during surgery. Nowadays, they can be detected and characterized by cholangioscopy, which allows a direct vision of the biliary tree for targeted biopsies and provides a precise definition of anatomical extension within the bile duct for surgical planning.

In this case series, the role of cholangioscopy for the management of 3 protruding biliary lesions will be reported.
