ABSTRACT (*) The management of benign bile duct strictures is one of the most difficult problems in abdominal surgery. Diagnosis is not always clear from the history, and surgical intervention to restore the normal bile flow in the gastrointestinal tract presents many technical issues and it requires the surgeons ingenuity. We report the case of a 58 year old male patient who presented with distal biliary tract stenosis of unknown etiology and underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, which discarded malignancy.
