A rare case of benign bile duct stricture mimicking cancer was identified in a 79-year-old man. This benign condition, likely caused by atherosclerosis-induced ischemia, highlights diagnostic challenges in biliary strictures.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Vascular Pathology

Background:

  • Bile duct strictures can present diagnostic challenges, sometimes mimicking malignancy.
  • Intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma (IBDC) requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • A 79-year-old male presented with symptoms suggestive of IBDC.
  • Imaging revealed intrahepatic bile duct dilatation and segmental stricture, with associated left hepatic artery narrowing.
  • Preoperative evaluation, including bile cytology, was inconclusive for malignancy.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed a benign segmental bile duct stricture with fibrosis and lymphocytic infiltration.
  • The resected liver specimen showed sclerotic changes in intrahepatic arteries.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful recovery for over 26 months post-surgery.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the difficulty in differentiating benign biliary strictures from IBDC preoperatively.
  • Atherosclerosis-induced bile duct ischemia is a potential cause of such benign strictures.
  • Careful consideration of vascular pathology is crucial in diagnosing biliary strictures.
