Figure 1
A 49-year-old woman presented with obstructive jaundice. A – T-tube cholangiographic examination was done 1 week after T-tube drainage, and showed stricture in the proximal CBD, dilated IHD and CHD; B, C – T-tube cholangiographic examination was done 3 months and 6 months later, respectively, and showed that the stricture disappeared after T-tube drainage; D – magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was done 12 months later, and showed that the bile duct obstruction had disappeared

Figure 2
A 50-year-old woman presented with obstructive jaundice. T-tube cholangiographic examination was done and showed stricture in the distal CBD
Figure 3
Figure 3
A 31-year-old man presented with obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was attempted to define the site and extent of the bile duct obstruction, and showed stricture in the proximal common bile duct (CBD)

Figure 4
A – Histopathology sections examined under low power (40×) show epithelioid cell granuloma with a central area of caseous necrosis (black arrow). At the periphery multiple ducts are seen with periductal chronic inflammation and fibrosis. B – Sections examined under high power (200×) show ducts with dense chronic inflammatory infiltrates composed of lymphocytes along with periductal fibrosis (black arrow)
