Popis: A 79-year-old woman with chillness and nausea was admitted to our hospital. CT findings displayed a common extended bile duct with stacked stones and duodenal diverticulosis. The diagnosis was cholangitis with choledocholithiasis. She underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)to remove the common bile duct stones. Thereafter, she developed cholangitis several times without any obvious cause of biliary obstruction. A careful follow-up was continued using ERCP, and finally, a slightly irregular edge of the distal common bile duct was observed. Subsequently, bile duct brush cytology revealed adenocarcinoma. The final diagnosis was distal cholangiocarcinoma. An operation was performed and the pathological diagnosis of papillary carcinoma of the duodenum invading the common bile duct was made. We reviewed the first ERCP image findings retrospectively and noticed an abnormal papillary of the duodenum. We could not evaluate the papilla after endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST). We learned 2 important things. The first is to carefully observe naïve papilla, and the second is to pay attention to a slight change of cholangiography.
