title: Carcinoid tumour of the common bile duct--a novel complication of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
abstract: A 30 year old man with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome presented with obstructive jaundice caused by a carcinoid tumour of the mid- and upper common bile duct. This association is probably causally related in view of the propensity for patients with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome to develop neuroendocrine tumours.
