Endoscopic treatment of Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the distal bile duct
Authors
Abstract Text Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare tumor of the biliary tree. Due to its low incidence there are no guidelines regarding its management, despite the risk of malignant transformation usually suggests indication to surgery. Some cases of endoscopic biliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been reported for patients unfit for surgery, mainly to treat intrahepatic stenosis. We report a case of patient with a distal biliary duct IPNB treated endoscopically with RFA.
