A member asked:

Can you get benign tumours in the bile duct?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mankanwal Sachdev answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Yes: But these are rare, usually the tumor presents as a cause of a blocked bile duct. The fear is always malignancy, and then we find benign after surgery. Its best to see a gastroenterologist who does eus, and a hepatobiliary surgeon.

Dr Legha and another doctor agreed
