A 63-year-old woman was admitted because of epigastric pain and obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and intraductal ultrasonography revealed a 25-mm papillary nodule in the middle to inferior portion of the common bile duct (CBD). Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) was also identified. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography also showed an enhanced nodule in the CBD, and we suspected intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. We performed pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy. Postoperative pathological examination revealed an inflammatory polyp in the middle CBD. Inflammatory polyp in the bile duct is rare and there are no previous reports accompanied by PBM. PBM is a major risk factor for biliary tract cancer. Preoperative diagnosis of a benign disorder was difficult in this case.

Duodenum mucinous carcinoma is very rare, and the prognosis of the patient is very bad, especially when the tumor is invasive to other organs. In this case, duodenum carcinoma was invasive to common bile duct and transverse colon. Mucinous fluid, which was secreted from a duodenum tumor, was found in the dilatated bile duct. The intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct was considered a differential diagnosis. We performed aggressive resection and had a good prognosis. A 74-year-old woman received a diagnosis of cholangitis and was treated with antibiotic drugs. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed a defect in the lower common bile duct with the mucoid fluid. We suspected intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct, but no malignant cells were detected. One year later, gastrointestinal fiberscopy revealed a villous tumor in the postbulbar portion of the duodenum; adenocarcinoma was detected in biopsy specimens. Computed tomography revealed dilatation of the duodenum with an enhanced tumor, and dilatation of both the common and intrahepatic bile ducts. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed that the duodenum was connected with the common bile duct and ascending colon. We resected the segmental duodenum, extrahepatic bile duct, left lobe of liver, a partial of the transverse colon, and associated lymph nodes. Although the advanced duodenal carcinoma had poor prognosis, the patient was alive, without recurrence, 5 years after the operation.

Abstract This is a case report of ascariasis of the common bile duct in a 65-year-old man from Colombia who had undergone prior cholecystectomy. The patient presented with postprandial epigastric pain and a 20-lb weight loss. The laboratory findings were remarkable for peripheral blood eosinophilia. The ultrasound finding was suggestive of periampullary or pancreatic neoplasm. He underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with endoscopic extraction of a motile, live worm identified as Ascaris lumbricoides. Roundworm infestation should always be suspected in immigrants from endemic areas who present with hepatobiliary symptoms.

The incidence and prevalence of foreign body (FB) ingestion are difficult to estimate. Unlike other foreign bodies, the ingestion of a toothpick is very uncommon and carries high morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of a 73-year-old female patient presenting mid-term epigastric pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a slightly dilated common bile duct (CBD) and magnetic resonance showed an irregular filling failure in distal CBD and gallstones. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography revealed major papilla on the edge of a diverticulum and confirmed the distal filling failure. After sphincterotomy, a partially intact toothpick was extracted from the CBD. Neither fistulas nor perforation signs were found. Literature related to foreign bodies and toothpick ingestion was reviewed and some hypotheses to explain the reported case were created. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a toothpick lodged inside the biliary tract.
