Amputation neuroma of common bile duct with obstructive jaundice: a case report.

A 67-year-old woman was hospitalized because of recurrent attacks of epigastric pain, chills, fever, jaundice and pruritus of 6 months' duration. Six years earlier, the patient had undergone cholecystectomy. The present endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography demonstrated a proximal irregular choledochal stricture. Resection of the stricture with end-to-end anastomosis was performed. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed an amputation neuroma.
