Phytobezoar is a rare cause of gastro-intestinal tract obstruction. Common sites of phytobezoar are the stomach and small bowel. Naturally, extrahepatic duct phytobezoar is near impossible due to anatomical structure and location such as ampulla of vater, common bile duct and bifurcation of bile duct. Here, we present an extremely rare case of extrahepatic duct phytobezoar that resulted in abdominal pain. We successfully treated the case with extraoperative transenteral endoscopic removal of phytobezoar. For its great rarity and particular treatment approach, we report this case with review of literature.
植物性胃石是胃肠道梗阻的罕见原因。植物性胃石的常见部位是胃和小肠。由于诸如十二指肠壶腹、胆总管和胆管分支等解剖结构和位置的原因,肝外胆管植物性胃石几乎不可能发生。在此,我们报告一例极为罕见的导致腹痛的肝外胆管植物性胃石病例。我们通过术中经肠内镜取出植物性胃石成功治疗了该病例。鉴于其极为罕见以及特殊的治疗方法,我们报告此病例并复习相关文献。
