Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (biliary IPN) is a rare disease characterized by multicentric proliferation of adenomatous epithelium within the bile ducts. The common clinical manifestations are recurrent abdominal pain, jaundice, and acute cholangitis. We report a case of hemobilia caused by biliary IPN. A 59-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of hemobilia of unknown origin. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiography revealed dilatation of the S6 segmental duct with an ovoid-shaped intraductal mass. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy showed multiple papillary masses with bleeding in the S6 segmental duct. The patient underwent a right lobectomy, and the pathology revealed a well differentiated intraductal papillary adenocarcinoma. (Korean J Med 77:338-342, 2009)
