Core Tip
Core tip: In this review, we have provided a more comprehensive understanding of “intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct” than in other research articles. We found that preoperative pathologic diagnosis by biopsy could not reflect the actual stage in many cases because different foci might be of different stages and because mixed pathologic findings might exist in the same lesion. Staging, histologic subtype, curative resection and lymph node metastasis were factors affecting long-term survival.
