Abstract

The authors describe the case of a 73 year old man with obstruction jaundice, who was examined before the operation by PTC with resulting diagnosis of choledochocoele connected with cholelithiasis. The preoperation diagnosis of this rare anomaly is not frequent and is due to the development of radiodiagnostic methods. A surgical solution is based either on discision or removal of the whole formation.
