title: Asymptomatic T-tube remnant in common bile duct.
abstract: A 46-year-old lady presented with itching, five years after a primary common bile duct repair following cholecystectomy. Prior to this she underwent an interno-external biliary drainage. At laparotomy the horizontal limb of a T-tube was found in the common hepatic duct. Eleven months after a Roux loop hepatico-jejunostomy she is asymptomatic.
