Benign tumours of the extrahepatic bile ducts are rare, mostly occurri ng in the common bile duct and hepatic ducts. Solitary papillomas occu r mainly in the gallbladder or at the ampulla of Vater.1 Tumours of th e cystic duct are extremely rare, and we are unaware of any reports of solitary papilloma of the cystic duct.
