[Case of bile duct anomalies and cholelithiasis]

A case is reported with a rare anomaly of biliary ducts--lengthened hepatic ducts, that are connected right above papilla of Vater--established by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and confirmed at operation. The patient was twice operated on the occasion of cholelithiasis: cholecystectomy was performed with the first operation, the gall bladder being connected to the right hepatic duct, but the second biliary duct was not established. The other biliary duct--the left hepatic duct was obstructed by a calculus and dilated, established at the second operation.
