[A case of hepatocholangitis (author's transl)].

Inflammation localised to the hepatic duct in the region of the neck of the gallbladder is rare. Regression of the lesions after cholecystectomy authentified its purely inflammatory nature. Its interest comes from possible confusion with carcinoma of the common bile duct. A case of cholangitis with 8 years follow up illustrates these facts and permits a few comments on the pathology of the junction between the cystic duct and the hepatic duct.
