After a surgical operation on the biliary tract, stenoses can occur, most of the time due to fibrotic lesions, and more rarely due to granulomas or traumatic neuromas. The latter generally develop on the cystic stump after a cholecystectomy. The occurrence of a traumatic neuroma on the common bile duct is much more rarely described. We report the case of a 64 year-old man presenting, four years after a surgical removal of the gallbladder, with a cholangitis, due to neuroma located on the choledochus. He was treated by surgical resection of the common bile-duct at the site of the stenotic zone, and choledocojejunal anastomosis; post-operative course was satisfactory.
