A 64-year-old diabetic man underwent an open cholecystectomy for acute necrotizing cholecystitis. Post-operatively he developed a biloma which was drained percutaneously. A bile leak was suspected and he underwent an ERCP. Initial cholangiography was normal, but upon continued injection of contrast agent, a bile leak originating from a branch of the right hepatic duct or duct of Luschka became evident. A sphincterotomy was performed and a plastic stent was placed into the common bile duct. The leak resolved and the plastic stent was removed 6 weeks later.
