title: [Primary intrahepatic lithiasis].
abstract: Isolated intrahepatic lithiasis is a very rare condition in western countries; the reported case has to be added to the 29 cases described to date in the literature. The pathogenesis of this disease is unknown; physical and chemical bile alterations favouring lithogenesis is the most reliable hypothesis. In this case the Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with cutaneous stoma allowed us to perform periodic cleaning of intrahepatic bile ducts until complete elimination of all stones.
