Abstract
We report a 38-year-old lady with carcinoid tumor of the extrahepatic biliary tract who presented with recurrent obstructive jaundice and previous surgery for suspected choledocholithiasis. MRCP revealed a large bile duct tumor extending from the confluence up to the superior aspect of the pancreas; this was completely excised, with bilio-enteric anastomosis. These tumors are characteristically slow growing and, therefore, are amenable to aggressive surgical excision, which offers the best chance of cure.
