Abstract Background Extrahepatic bile duct duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly in which two common bile ducts exist. There are five different types of this anomaly and we present an unusual variant of duplication of an extrahepatic biliary system of type Va variety. Case presentation This case report describes a 63-year-old women from rural Nepal who presented with type Va of duplicated extrahepatic bile duct, with chronic calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis. She was managed with cholecystectomy with hepatic ductoplasty and hepaticojejunostomy. Conclusion A rare case of double common bile duct (type Va) complicated by choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, and chronic cholecystitis is reported here. Rare cases are sometimes overlooked by modern diagnostic techniques. Correct diagnosis helps appropriate surgical intervention.

The Common

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.
