Abstract
The authors, after a short review of the literature present 6 cases of cancer of the common bile duct. One was localized at the hepatic hilus, three in the middle of the c.b.d., two in the distal choledochus. In each case a c.b.d. resection was performed associated in one case to a minor hepatic resection, in two cases to a Whipple operation.
