Abstract
True mid bile duct tumors are very rare. Most patients with mid bile duct obstruction should be considered to have gallbladder cancer until proven otherwise. Mid bile duct resections are usually performed for the rare mid duct cholangiocarcinomas or for patients with early gallbladder cancer and tumor at the cystic duct margin.
