Summary
Intrahepatic lithiasis, considered an unusually rare pathology, was demonstrated by x-ray examination, in the fourth case of my series.
The present case was the first, in which not one, large, solitary cluster, but small groups of calciumcontaining stones, approximately the size of a pinhead, were present and spread apart in the liver structure.
Cholecystectomy of the stone containing gallbladder was performed eight years ago.
The discovery of this pathology occurred incidentally during a routine diagnostic work-up. No signs or symptoms indicated or suggested the presence of this pathology.
There were no clinical symptoms.
