There are several potential causes for biliary obstruction including gallstones, cancer, trauma, choledochal cysts, or other benign causes of bile duct narrowing. (wikipedia.org)
Tuberculosis of the bile duct: a rare cause of biliary stricture. (medscape.com)

This test can be used to do a biopsy of bile duct cells, check for bile duct stones or a tumour, and to check if cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. (bccancer.bc.ca)
The most effective approach for tumors that have not spread is surgery to remove the bile duct and the nearby lymph nodes. (mskcc.org)

Three local hospitals provided information about serum chemistries obtained from annual examinations during the year preceding ingestion of bile (baseline), during acute illnesses that occurred immediately following reported ingestion, and 2 months after ingestion. (cdc.gov)

But these tumors can easily grow through the bile duct wall, where they have easy access to nearby blood vessels and organs. (healthline.com)
Bile acid sequestrants are not absorbed into the body, and therefore they do not have systemic side effects (affecting other organs). (medicinenet.com)
This type of bile duct cancer is located only in the area around the bile duct, but it does affect nearby organs, arteries, or veins. (cancer.net)
