  • Title: Traumatic neuroma of the bile ducts with intrahepatic extension causing obstructive jaundice.
    Author: Larson DM, Storsteen KA.
    Journal: Hum Pathol; 1984 Mar; 15(3):287-9. PubMed ID: 6698545.
    Abstract:
    Most traumatic neuromas of the biliary tract occur in the cystic duct stump after cholecystectomy and produce no symptoms. The authors report the rare occurrence of traumatic neuroma of the bile ducts that arose from injury to the duct occurring during cholecystectomy. The neuroma blocked the common hepatic duct and extended into the left hepatic duct, causing obstructive jaundice. The pseudotumor was removed from the common hepatic duct, but intrahepatic extension prevented complete removal. The patient remains well ten years after the surgical procedure.
