This paper describes a rare case of biliary obstruction caused by an adenomyoma of the common bile duct, a benign tumor of the biliary tree that requires histological examination for diagnosis and has an unestablished natural history and optimal treatment.

Abstract

We report an unusual case of biliary obstruction secondary to adenomyoma of the common bile duct. Adenomyomas are benign tumors, found infrequently in the biliary tree. Clinical presentation, biochemical, radiographic, and endoscopic investigations do not distinguish adenomyomas from malignant or other lesions; diagnosis requires histological examination. The natural history and optimal treatment of these tumors have not been established.
