Three cases of non-tumoural tight stenosis of the bifurcation of the hilar bile ducts

Rofo. 1994 Dec;161(6):561-3. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1032586.

Abstract

Stenosis of the bifurcation of the hepatic bile duct is usually caused by malignant lesion. We report on three different causes of benign stenosis of the hepatic confluence with a similar radiological pattern on direct cholangiography. The first case is considered a spontaneous neuroma, the second a periductal abscess, and the third case a postoperative stricture Bismuth type 4.
