Abstract
- The Mirizzi syndrome is a rare benign cause of obstructive jaundice. It is particularly interesting to surgeons because the surgery has to be carefully planned to avoid unnecessary damage to the common bile duct. Furthermore, it gives a differential diagnosis dilemma for surgeons as well as radiologist because there are no diagnostic procedures or clinical features that have a perfect access. As a result, the Mirizzi syndrome often has been mistaken for gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma. We experienced of a 76-year-old male patient, whose clinical symptoms were jaundice, epigastric pain and fever with chill and misdiagnosed as a cholangiocarcinoma with liver metastasis.
