Objective: We outline the concept of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), discuss the morphologic features of IPNB and the differential diagnoses, and describe the radiologic approaches used in multidisciplinary management.

Conclusion: The concept of IPNB has been evolving. Because the imaging features of IPNB can be variable, different mimickers according to IPNB subtype can be considered. A multimodality approach is essential to obtain an optimal diagnosis and establish treatment plans.

The optimal surgical indication for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) remains highly contentious. We aimed to determine the preoperative predictive factors of malignancy and independent prognostic factors in patients with IPMN who underwent curative-intent resection. In this study, 104 patients with a pathological diagnosis of IPMN who underwent curative-intent resection were included.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) effectively diagnoses malignant and pre-malignant gastrointestinal lesions. In the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising results in enhancing EUS sensitivity and accuracy, particularly for subepithelial lesions (SELs) like gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Furthermore, AI models have shown high accuracy in predicting malignancy in gastric GISTs and distinguishing between benign and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).

Article Synopsis
  • A study of 121 cases of small duct-type intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (small duct-iCCA) identified intraductal polypoid neoplasms in 8 cases (6.6%), which showed growth patterns adjacent to mass-forming tumors.
  • These polypoid neoplasms were found to have histological and immunohistochemical similarities to the primary tumors, indicating a shared biliary subtype and reflecting the cancerization of ductal tissues.
  • A comparison with intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) revealed differences, as IPNBs often presented non-invasive characteristics, suggesting that intraductal polypoid neoplasms should
