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...

Intrahepatic clear cell bile duct adenoma is extremely rare, with only 3 previous cases reported in the literature. The cause of cytoplasmic clearing in clear cell bile duct adenoma has not been previously investigated. Distinguishing clear cell bile duct adenoma from other clear cell tumors, particularly clear cell cholangiocarcinoma, can be challenging. Previous studies have shown loss of CD1...

PURPOSE Bile duct dilatation after cholecystectomy continues to be a matter of controversy. We aimed determine the magnitude of common bile duct (CBD) dilatation after cholecystectomy followed up to 1 year. METHODS Sixty-four cases (age, 47.3 ± 11.7 years; men, 28; women, 36) enrolled in this study. They received laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Chungbuk National University Hospital for sympto...

UNLABELLED The aim this study was to analyse our management bile duct injuries following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective-retrospective study presents six cases of major bile duct injuries that occurred in our first 1000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Neuhaus et al. classification was used in this study. RESULTS Bile duct injuries following laparoscopic c...

Common bile duct stones frequently accompany gallstones and can be identified by a variety of imaging modalities. Little is known about the time course of dilatation of the common bile duct after acute obstruction or of normalization after spontaneous passage of an obstructing stone. We describe a case showing rapid fluctuations in common bile duct diameter during 72 hours in a patient presenti...

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of simple resections of bile duct branch lesions for the treatment of regional hepatic bile duct stones.A retrospective analysis of the clinical data from patients in our hospital from November 2008 to November 2015, who only underwent a simple resection of the lesion bile duct branch. The patients' clinical characteristics, surgical features, postoperat...

We report a case of a 70-year-old man with acute acalculous cholecystitis caused by Giardia lamblia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed distention of the gallbladder due to a pericholecystic abscess without gallstones. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and drip infusion cholecystocholangiography-CT demonstrated a stricture of the hilar bile duct and cystic duct obstruct...

Adenomyomatous hyperplasia is an extremely rare benign lesion of the hepatobiliary tract, including the ampulla of Vater, with most cases described in the gallbladder [1–4]. However, its importance lies in its ability tomimic bile duct tumors [1,2]. A 66-year-old man without jaundice was found to have dilatation of the common and intrahepatic bile ducts on ultrasonography performed during ambul...

Several cases of recurrent stone formation caused by a surgical material as a nidus have been reported. Recently, we experienced one case in which a migrated metal stent might have been served as a nidus for common duct stone formation. The diagnosis was confirmed by ERCP, the stone was successfully removed with endoscopic therapy. Six years ago, she had undergone a lithotripsy using a percutan...

RATIONALE Duplication of the extrahepatic bile duct is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system. PATIENT CONCERNS A 44-year-old woman presented with a history of continuous upper abdominal pain and vomiting. DIAGNOSES Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) disclosed diffuse dilatation of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Endoscopic retrograde cholan...
