Bile duct adenomas (BDAs) are rare benign tumors that can arise in the intra-hepatic or extra-hepatic biliary tree. We present a case of a 46-year-old female who presented with symptoms suggestive of choledocholithiasis. Direct cholangioscopy identified a 15 mm polypoid lesion in the common hepatic duct (CHD). Biopsy revealed a BDA. We present this case to highlight the role of direct cholangioscopy in the diagnosis and management of BDAs.

Background: Mapping biopsy (MB) can evaluate superficial ductal spread (SDS) through the histopathological diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, enabling the selection of an appropriate surgical procedure. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of MB using a novel sheath system in distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) cases.
Methods: A total of 199 cholangiocarcinoma cases underwent preoperative diagnosis.

Biliary and pancreatic tract stenosis are hallmark symptoms in pancreaticobiliary diseases, transcending malignancy. Endoscopic techniques are pivotal for biliary/pancreatic drainage; however, challenging scenarios arise when attempting to pass a guidewire (GW) through obstruction. Cholangioscopy-assisted GW placement has proven valuable, but challenges persist in its execution, particularly in maneuvering the GW through cholangioscopy.

Background: Evaluation of lesions of the biliary tract are essential to diagnose given the dismal outcomes of cholangiocarcinoma. Historically, these diagnoses were made using brush biopsies obtained under Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). To increase the accuracy of biliary biopsies, SpyGlassTM Discover cholangioscopy guided biopsy has been developed, providing greater tissue yield and direct visualization of the biliary epithelium.
