Core Tip	The authors report a case of large-cell neu-roendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the hilar bile duct. Concurrent dysplasia with intestinal and neuroendocrine differentiation was suggested to be a precursor in this case. Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the bile duct occurs more frequently in men (male:female ratio 1.9:1). The mid-portion of the common bile duct appears to be the commonest site of involvement. All three reported cases of LCNEC died within 12 mo and the prognosis of NEC of the bile duct appears to be equally poor in both small-cell NEC and LCNEC. Multimodal treatment may improve outcome in this highly aggressive cancer.
