Biliary Web: A Rare Cause of Extrahepatic Biliary Obstruction

ABSTRACT

A biliary web is a rare lesion, which may produce an extrahepatic biliary obstruction. Even though congenital in nature, they usually present later in life, due to their initial patency, which allows bile drainage from the liver. Herein, a case of an operation on an isolated mucosal web of the common hepatic duct, in a 45 years old male, is presented.
