Core Tip

Core tip: This report highlights intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB) arising from peribiliary glands (PBGs) in a case of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, which is of special interest because to our knowledge this is the first report of IPNB arising from PBGs with concomitant perihilar cholangiocarcinoma occurred separately, and the neoplasm may be regarded as the biliary counterpart of branch duct-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of pancreas with concomitant pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma.
