Abstract
We report a case of incarcerated stone of communicating accessory bile duct. A 48-year-old woman referred to our hospital for incisional hernia. There was a previous history of acute cholecystitis with gallbladder stone. We examined the biliary tree. The gallbladder stone and atrophic gallbladder was found on computed tomography. The communicating accessory bile duct originating from right hepatic duct to cystic duct was found on endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. It is important to perform a procedure with recognition of anomalous biliary tract to prevent intraoperative bile duct injury. The case of incarcerated stone in the communicating accessory bile duct rarely has been reported in this country. Review of literature was done and reported.
