Abstract

A case of Mirizzi syndrome diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) is reported. A 70-year-old man suspected to have Mirizzi syndrome by ERCP, CT, MRI, US and angiography, was referred to our hospital. PTC showed a tumourous shadow in the common hepatic duct, which was most likely a malignant tumor. But EUS revealed a stone shadow outside of the common hepatic duct and the diagnosis of Mirizzi syndrome was made. Thus, EUS is helpful for diagnosis of Mirizzi syndrome.
