    Author: Lee SH, Moon JH, Choi HJ, Kim HK, Cho YD, Lee MS, Shim CS.
    Journal: Gut Liver; 2009 Dec; 3(4):349-51. PubMed ID: 20431775.
    Abstract:
    Limy bile is a relatively rare condition in which a radiopaque material is visible in the gallbladder, extending rarely into the bile duct, on plain radiography. Acute cholangitis or cholecystitis caused by limy bile is a very rare condition. There are no definite treatment guidelines for limy bile, but in most cases with cholangitis or cholecystitis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been the preferred treatment. We report a case of limy bile with biliary symptoms that was treated only with an endoscopic procedure.
