Abstract

An autopsy case of a 38-year-old male who had pathologically intrahepatic gallstones and severe atrophy of the left lobe of the liver after cholecystectomy and choledo-chojejunostomy 5 years before death was reported. <BR>Histopathological study revealed that the obstruction and dilatation resulted from hepatolithiasis of the left biliary trees with coincident narrowing of the lumen of the left branch of the portal vein might be attributed to the significant atrophy of the left lobe of the liver. <BR>Although it is still unknown why the stenosis and dilatation of the bile duct of the left lobe of the liver occurred, congenital anomaly of the biliary tree of the liver was suggested.
