The efficacy of ultrasound in detecting a tumor in the head of the pancreas as a cause of obstructive jaundice has been well established.

Two cases of neuroma of the common bile duct (CBD) associated with jaundice and cholangitis both 15 years after cholecystectomy are presented. The surgical treatment, excision of the diseased CBD, followed by Roux-en-Y biliary drainage in one case and excision of the tumor with T-tube drainage in th
## Abstract Abnormal terminations of the common bile duct, as demonstrated by operative cholangiography, occurred in 23 per cent of 120 patients with biliary tract disease. The importance of this observation in biliary surgery is discussed.
