Core Tip
Core Tip: Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct are rare premalignant lesions, which are especially prevalent in East Asia. Due to the lack of specific guidelines addressing their management, recent subclassification of types 1 and 2 clarifies several aspects, particularly histopathological, clinical and prognostic features. Magnetic resonance imaging and cholangioscopy occupy a central role in diagnosis and treatment. Surgery is the most appropriate treatment, yielding optimal results in terms of survival, although endoscopic techniques have been used, particularly in nonsurgically fit patients. Lastly, recent genetic research has focused on identifying targeted therapies acting on the stepwise progression of neoplastic biliary epithelium.
