Fifty-five consecutive case-reports of patients with evidence of confirmed biliary tract dilatation on ultrasound imaging were reviewed retrospectively to assess value of combined indirect ultrasound signs and simple biologic data in determining etiologic diagnosis. The diagnostic value of certain groups of signs representing indicators of tumoral or nontumoral lesions was equal or superior to that of direct visualization of the occlusion.
