The discovery of a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) within the extrahepatic bile ducts in a patient with PSC highlights the need for heightened awareness and comprehensive evaluation. This case underscores the complexity of the diagnostic and therapeutic approach when managing PSC, especially when complicated by the presence of additional neoplastic lesions such as NETs.
