Why does your doctor suspect a stone in the common bile duct rather than a tumor as a result of a CT scan?
Stones and Tumors will have different characteristics on a CT scan. Stones are going to be within the bile duct, where as tumors are likely to be on the tissue surrounding the duct itself. The stones should also appear much brighter than the surrounding tissue (almost white) where tumors are going to only be slightly lighter. Likely, based on size, location, and appearance, your physician has diagnosed a stone rather than a tumor. However, if you or your physician are concerned that it may be a tumor, you can have a PET scan done. If it is a tumor, it should light up brightly, if it is a stone, then it shouldn't really show a difference. If you are concerned about it being cancer, bring this up to your doctor especially if there is a family history. A PET scan is something that can easily be done to rule out a tumor.
