[Obstructive jaundice after cholecystectomy].
In this article we present the case of a 72 year-old woman who three years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy develops obstructive jaundice. An MRI of the liver and biliary system revealed an hiliar mass that caused dilatation of the biliary tree. The patient underwent hepatic duct resection and reconstruction via hepaticojejunostomy. The histological examination of the surgical specimen identified an intramural biliary neuroma with no evidence of malignancy.
