Shuangshoti S A 70-year-old man with previous cholecystectomy developed progressive obstructive
jaundice, 3 months before hospitalization. Intraoperatively, a 2 x 2 x 1.5-cm mass in the distal part
of the right hepatic duct was excised to release complete obstruction. It was verified as traumatic
(amputation) neuroma. Despite rarity, traumatic neuroma of the bile duct shoud be considered in
patients who have antecedent surgical procedure of the biliary tract with subsequent occurrence of
extrahepatic biliary obstruction.
