1. Abstract Intraductal papillary neoplasia of the bile ducts (IPN-B) is a rare intracanal tumor characterized by papillary proliferation of the biliary epithelium responsible for more or less abundant production of mucus, causing dilation of the duct [1]. IPN-B is the “biliary” equivalent of TIPMP. MRI cholangiography and transcutaneous abdominal ultrasound are the best examinations …
