Abstract

A 3-year-old child presented with vague abdominal pain, fever, leucocytosis and elevation of alkaline phosphatase. Ultrasonography revealed a space occupying process within the extrahepatic bile ducts surrounded by fluid. Various densities (between 15–25 Hounsfield units) were measured in this intrabiliary tumor by computed tomography.
