  • Title: [Benign tumors of the bile ducts].

    Abstract:
    Benign neoplasms are rare events in the extrahepatic biliary ducts, and scanty literary references on the subject are available. Four cases of obstructive jaundice caused by benign tumours of the extrahepatic biliary ducts have been reviewed. Two of them have also displayed lithiasis of the gallbladder and common bile duct. In three cases histopathologic confirmation was obtained, in contrast to the remaining case in which only a gross pathologic presumptive diagnosis was possible. Three patients underwent surgical resection, and in one of them hepatojejunostomy was performed. The patient with a presumptive diagnosis of "inflammatory polyp" was not submitted to surgery, due to the special circumstances of the case. The undisturbed follow-up of the four cases attested to the worthiness of the surgical procedures.
