A 63-year male was admitted with abdominal pain, fever and jaundice. The contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed a mass in the hepatic hilar region with dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct. The left branch of portal vein was also compressed by the mass. The patient was diagnosed as intrahepatic bile d...

INTRODUCTION Intussusception after gastrectomy is a minor complication after gastrectomy, while common bile duct stone (CBD) is also a rare complication post cholecystectomy. We report a case that simultaneously caused both intussusception and CBD stone following gastrectomy with prophylactic cholecystectomy. CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old woman underwent distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y re...

A 40-year-old healthy woman was evaluated as a donor candidate for living donor liver transplantation. Her medical history was unremarkable. She had completely normal physical examination and laboratory results. It was seen on endoscopic retrograde cholangiography imaging (Figure 1a) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography imaging (Figure 1b) that the right lobe posterior segment bile d...

Biliary stones are usually found in the gallbladder, but about 10-20% may spontaneously migrate into the common bile duct where they either remain trapped or migrate subsequently via the papilla of Vater into the duodenal lumen. In some cases, biliary stones may form de novo in the common bile duct because of local precipitating factors. We here present a spectacular case of huge gallstones imp...

Spontaneous perforation of the bile duct, is a disease in which spontaneous perforation occurs in the wall of the extrahepatic or intrahepatic duct without any traumatic or iatrogenic injury and more often described in neonates. In this report, we present a 38-year-old female patient who underwent surgery due to an intraabdominal cystic mass. The diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of the common b...

Efficacy and safety of pulsed dye laser lithotripsy was tested in 25 consecutive patients in whom bile duct stones could not be extracted after endoscopic sphincterotomy. The patients had one to six (mean, 1.8) bile duct stones (diameter, 10-35 mm; mean, 18 mm) located in the common bile duct (18 cases), the intrahepatic bile ducts (6 cases), or in a long cystic duct stump (1 case). Different a...

Bile duct tumor thrombus (BDTT) of a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare entity which was found microscopically in 1 to 9.2% of the resected specimen.A 54-year-old male was found to have a 65-mm hepatocellular carcinoma in segment VI of the liver with a huge intrahepatic bile duct tumor thrombus. As the main trunk of the posterior segment branched from the left bile duct, the BDTT of the p...

The purpose of this study was to investigate and discuss imaging methods and management strategies for congenital choledochal cyst with co-existing intrahepatic dilation and aberrant bile duct as well as other complicated biliary anomalies. In this study we reviewed and analyzed 72 patients with congenital choledochal cyst, ranging in age from 15 days to 12 years old and who were seen at our ho...

BACKGROUND The incidence of extrahepatic bile duct malignancies is about 2-3.6% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. Primary carcinoma of cystic duct is a rare condition comprising a fraction of all extrahepatic bile duct malignancies with less than 70 cases reported worldwide. Majority of these cases were reported from East Asia. There is paucity in such case being reported from Indian subcon...
