Physical examination revealed jaundice, epigastric pain and scratching lesions. Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) at 109 U/L, Alkaline phosphatase at 175U/L. CA19-9 was at 500U/mlMagnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed a T1 and T2hyperintense lesion of peri-hilar fat. An increase in intensity was noted after useof gadolinium.Exploratory laparotomy was performed with the presumptive diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Pathologic analysis of the surgical specimen revealed Haphazard mature nerves, consistent with a bile duct neuroma.
