Abnormal findings in the biliary tree are frequently encountered in response to acute and chronic exposures to various compounds. The more common findings are described here in an overview of previous publications such as the INHAND Proliferative and Nonproliferative Lesions of the Rodent Liver and the Liver-Nonneoplastic Lesion Atlas NTP with comments regarding current considerations. This was presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicologic Pathology. Histologic descriptions and some discussions regarding the pathogenesis of the various categories of non-neoplastic lesions in the biliary tree are presented. Discussions regarding the use of the term oval cell versus ductular reaction and the potentially neoplastic nature of cholangiofibrosis are presented in some detail.

Neoplastic premalignant pancreatobiliary lesions: current update on the spectrum of lesions and their imaging appearances.

Common pancreatobiliary epithelial malignancies such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma have poor prognosis. A small but significant portion of these malignancies arise from mass-forming grossly and radiologically visible premalignant epithelial neoplasms in the pancreatobiliary tree. Several lesions, including a few recently described entities, fall under this category and predominantly include papillary epithelial lesions with or without mucin production.

Background: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) represent distinct biological and genomic entities. Anatomic and geographic heterogeneity in genomic profiling of BTC subtypes, genomic co-alterations, and their impact on long-term outcomes are not well defined.
Methods: Genomic data to characterize alterations among patients with BTCs were derived from the AACR GENIE registry (v15.

Gallstone ileus (GSI) is a rare complication of gallstone disease. It occurs as a result of the passage of a stone from the biliary tract into the gastrointestinal tract via an abnormal pathway (bilio-enteric fistula). Chronic inflammatory processes result in gall bladder adhering and subsequently eroding into the intestines, leading to a fistula.

Introduction: Stasis of bile flow can result in microbial colonization of the biliary tree. Cholangitis is a common adverse event linked to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
Aim: To establish the bacterial profiles isolated from the bile sample and to evaluate the pre-ERCP risk factors predicting the microbial growth and development of post-ERCP cholangitis (PEC).

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, patterns of recurrence, survival outcomes, and implications for the addition of chemoradiotherapy for patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Materials And Methods: For the present retrospective study, we identified 38 and 10 patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic CCA. In perihilar CCA, adjuvant treatment was given as chemotherapy ( = 13) or chemoradiotherapy ( = 10).
