title: Accessory bile duct draining into the stomach: case report and review.
abstract: Accessory bile duct with ectopic drainage into the gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, and only 55 cases have been reported in the literature. We present another case of accessory bile duct draining into the stomach. Barium meal study of the stomach first revealed the accessory bile duct, and the diagnosis was confirmed by gastrofiberscopy, ultrasonography, hepatobiliary scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
