NEUROMA OF THE COMMON BILE-DUCT

After a surgical operation on the biliary tract, stenoses can occur, m ost of the time due to fibrotic lesions, and more rarely due to granul omas or traumatic neuromas. The latter generaly develop on the cystic stump after a cholecystectomy. The occurence of a traumatic neuroma on the common bile duct is much more rarely, described. We report the ca se of a 64 year-old man presenting, four years after a surgical remova l of the gallbladder, with a cholangitis, due to neuroma located on th e choledochus. He was treated by surgical resection of the common bile -duct at the site of the stenotic zone, and choledocojejunal anastomos is ; post-operative course was satisfactory.
