[Limy bile syndrome. Study of a case with double localization in the gallbladder and common bile duct]

We report the case of a patient with limy bile located in both the gallbladder and common bile duct, and disappearing spontaneously. Since the first description of this syndrome in 1911, approximately 300 cases have been reported in the literature, including 20 cases with double localization. The male/female ratio was 1/3. All patients were more than 40 year old. Conventional radiogram was sufficient to establish diagnosis. Spontaneous disappearance of limy bile is rare. The etiopathogenesis remains unclear; cholecystectomy is appropriate.
