Abstract

Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) is defined as a precursor lesion of invasive adenocarcinoma and it can develop both in intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. BilIN grossly presents as flat lesions but is usually macroscopically and radiologically unidentifiable 10 , 21 . Interestingly, in the last decades due to the spread of imaging techniques, focal intrahepatic biliary strictures (FIHS) are more commonly incidentally founded in clinical practice. It is currently unknown which is their correct management and in what percentage they can harbor pre-neoplastic alterations (as BilIN) or malignancy 20 . Due to the concomitant increase in western countries of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, it would be useful to understand the natural history of FIHS, as they can represent a radiological manifestation of underlying pre-malignant disease: in that perspective, the ideal treatment could be an early surgery to prevent cholangiocarcinom
