Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

Ingested biliary foreign bodies are typically associated with prior biliary operations.
Prior biliary surgery can predispose patients to enterobiliary reflux, facilitating foreign body migration.

Observation:

This report details an uncommon case of an ingested foreign body within the common bile duct.
The patient presented with no prior history of gastrointestinal surgery, a significant deviation from typical presentations.

Findings:

The presence of an ingested foreign body in the common bile duct without a history of surgery is unusual.
This case challenges the established understanding of risk factors for ingested biliary foreign bodies.

Implications:

This case expands the differential diagnosis for biliary obstruction.
Further investigation may be warranted to understand non-surgical pathways for ingested foreign bodies entering the biliary system.
