Abstract
- Limy bile is characterized by excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate, and generally preceded by gallbladder obstruction. Three case reports have been found in the domestic literatures. It is rare that limy bile syndrome associates cholangitis or calcified gallbladder. We report the case of a patient with limy bile, located in the gallbladder, common bile duct, and intrahepatic duct, with association of calcified gallbladder. This case showed characteristic radiologic and endoscopic findings. The patient was treated by endoscopic sphincterotomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
