Abstract
VIJAY, K; NAIDU, S; GODARA, R and VIJAYVERGIA, V. Tubercular biliary stricture - a malignant masquerade. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2013, vol.51, n.4, pp.144-145. ISSN 2078-5151.

We present a rare case of isolated hilar tubercular stricture, all the features of which were suggestive of malignancy.
