Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings. (A) About 1 cm sized umbilicus-shaped opening is observed on the lesser curvature of proximal antrum. Bile juice is present around the opening. (B) Bile juice also can be seen on lesser curvature of lower body.

• 

  Fig. 2. Magnetic resonance images. (A) T2-weighted axial image shows a tubular cystic structure (arrows) connecting hepatic hilum and lesser curvature of the stomach through ligamentum venosum. (B) Magnetic resonance cholangiography shows an accessory bile duct (arrows) origi-nating from left intrahepatic bile duct and draining into gastric antrum.
