“…No clues to the aetiology of bile duct tumour are available from the literature, although theories abound and include the following: carcinogenic action of cholic acid (Dick, 1939) or its conversion to methylcholanthrene (Glenn and Hill, 1955); precancerous inflammatory proliferation of the ductal accessory glands (Hess and Werthemann, 1957); carcinoma originating from previous ulceration of the bile ducts (Rolleston and McNee, 1929); malignant change in a benign papilloma (Dick, 1939); preexisting cholelithiasis (Illingworth, 1935); Giardia lamblia infestations (Grott, cited by Brown, Strang, Gordon, and Hendry 1961); radioactive salts in gallstones (Lazarus-Barlow, 1918); embryonic rests (Illingworth, 1945). Recently it has been suggested that aflatoxin may play a role in the aetiolovgy of liver tumours in animals (Butler and Barnes, 1963;Carnaghan, 1965;and Ashley, Halver, Gardner, and Wogan 1965) but no evidence as to its toxicity in man has been put forward (Allcroft and Carnaghan, 1963).…”

Strictures of the intrahepatic bile ducts are rare. Frequently, the condition passes unrecognized by both the internist and the surgeon, and is too often discovered only at autopsy. The strictures are related either to an inflammatory process, which is rare, or to a tumor which is more common. Benign or malignant stenosis may involve an intraparenchymatous hepatic duct or one of its segmental afferents. It results in proximal stasis, infection, lithiasis, and biliary cirrhosis. In fact, the prognosis and treatment of the lesion are dominated by the inflammatory or malignant origin of the stricture.

“…Review of such cases may reveal unrecognized cases of proliferative cholangitis. Indeed some reported cases of sclerosing cholangitis may be examples of this condition (15).…”

A case of extrahepatic biliary obstruction is presented in a patient with a previously unrecognized condition of the bile ducts. Five other cases with similar histological features in the bile ducts are also presented. The possible relationship between this condition and other causes of biliary obstruction is discussed and its characteristic features are described. The problems of diagnosis and management are discussed. Because of clinical, radiological and pathological similarities to cholecystitis glandularis proliferans it is proposed that the condition be called proliferative cholangitis (cholangitis glandularis proliferans).
