Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of biliary ducts: Literature review and a case report with emphasis on radiological manifestation

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the biliary tract (B‑IPMN) is an intraductal growing mucin producing tumor that is precursor of cholangiocarcinoma. Dilation of both upstream and downstream biliary ducts is the radiological key feature that is respectively caused by intraductal obstructive growth and massive mucin production. Although B‑IPMN is rare, if the radiologist is familiar with its manifestation, can lead to early diagnosis when surgical resection can be curative. Here, we report a long standing pathologically proved case of B‑IPMN with emphasis on radiological manifestation during a long time of 13 years across different imaging modalities.
