  Fig. 1. (A) Abdominal computed tomography reveals an enhanced thickening (arrow) of the common bile duct wall. (B) Grossly, the resected common bile duct reveals a firm grayish mass-like lesion (arrow) at the proximal bile duct. (C) Microscopically, the thickened mass-like portion consists of abundant nerve fascicles mainly composed of axon fibers and Schwann cells, intermixed with collagen bundles. Note entrapped bile duct (black arrow) and focal lymphoid aggregates (white arrow). (D) Marked fibrosis and haphazard proliferation of nerve fascicles. Note lymphoid aggregates. (E) Marked collagen deposits are intervening in the perineurial and epineurial area of nerve fascicles (left: S-100 protein immunohistochemical stain, right: Masson-Trichrome stain).
