Figure

  • Fig. 1. Contrast-enhanced CT finding of the patient. There were gallbladder distension and wall thickening, and dilated common bile duct.

  • Fig. 2. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic finding. Major papilla looked normal in endoscopic view.

  • Fig. 3. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings. (A) A filling defect was noted at the distal common bile duct. (B) Threre was diffuse mild dilatation at peripheral intrahepatic bile ducts.

  • Fig. 4. Endoscopic ultrasound findings. There was a small papillary mass in the distal common bile duct. CBD, common bile duct; PD, pancreatic duct.

  • Fig. 5. Endoscopic view after second endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. (A) After endoscopic sphincterotomy, a part of fluke was seen in the ampulla. (B) The flukes were extracted into the duodenum through the ampulla with balloon basket.
