ISOLATED NEUROFIBROMA OF THE COMMON BILE- DUCT

The neurogenic tumors in the biliary tract are rare and usually are am putation neuroma that occur after cholecystectomy. We describe a case of isolated neurofibroma of the common bile duct in a young man not ch olecystectomized. The patient suffered recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting and weight loss without clinical signs of Von Reckling hausen's disease or jaundice. The hepatogram was normal. The echograph y indicated a solid formation with obstruction of the proximal common bile duct. In the ERCP the stenosis was found. Surgical excision of th e tumor and anastomosis of bilateral hepatic ducts and jejunum were ca rried out. At microscopic examination intraparietal neurofibroma of th e common bile duct was found. As isolated entity, we know of only one reported case.
