Benign nontraumatic inflammatory stricture of

Common bile duct (CBD) may result in obstructive jaundice, which

can be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor of the CBD

preoperatively. A case with stricture of the common hepatic

duct presenting with obstructive jaundice

is reported herein. Preoperative radiological studies

prompted us to confidently make the diagnosis of

cholangiocarcinoma. However, the postoperative diagnosis

on histological examination of the resected lesions was

chronic inflammation and fiosis.
