Abstract:
Biliary amputation neuroma is rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to diversity of clinical presentation and a lack of awareness among healthcare providers. We present a case of biliary neuroma arising from a recent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, complicated by bile leak and recurrent cholangitis. An extensive review of the literature was performed, closely examining related etiology, trends in age, clinical symptomology, and time to presentation. The role of surgery compared to an endoscopic approach in diagnosis has been reviewed. Physicians are urged to remain mindful of malignant biliary strictures as they may easily mimic and misguide the diagnosis of a traumatic biliary neuroma.
