A 63-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency room with chills, fever and pain the in the upper right quadrant for seven days before admission. MRCP (magnetic resonance colangiopancreatography) showed a lesion of 4.5 x 4.2 cm in the middle/distal third of the main bile duct with mild ectasia of bile ducts. Five years ago, the patient was surgically treated - videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy - due to cholelithiasis. At the current hospitalization, patient underwent endoscopic treatment, with papillotomy performed to avoid new episodes of cholangitis. Patient had no further complications, asymptomatic, without new episodes of fever or jaundice.
