Abstract
Duplication of the common bile duct (DCBD) is a rare congenital anomaly, with no more than 100 published cases in the literature. The malignant rate of this condition may reach 25%. Besides, complicated morbidities could co-exist, which might put surgeons in a difficult situation. We report the case of a 36-year-old Vietnamese man, admitted due to epigastric pain and jaundice. The patient was then diagnosed with type II DCBD with comorbidities (choledocholithiasis, pancreaticobiliary maljunction). Cholecystectomy, lithotripsy, and accessory bile duct removal were performed. The patient was discharged uneventfully 1 week later. To conclude, we would like to emphasize the importance of basic knowledge in complicated hepatobiliary cases, for example, DBCD, to provide the optimal approach for these patients.
