Biliary Papillomatosis


Laura Webb Lamps, MD









Biliary papillomatosis features numerous polypoid adenomatous lesions of the biliary tract. This one, present in the common bile duct, resembles an intestinal-type tubulovillous adenoma.






This case of biliary papillomatosis had multiple foci of invasive adenocarcinoma. This poorly differentiated carcinoma arose in the common bile duct.
