Abstract: | A 10-year-old boy of African origin with AIDS and Stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma presented with a short history of abdominal distension and bile ascites shown to be due to a perforation of his common bile duct. This was treated initially by laparotomy, external peritoneal drainage and endoscopic biliary stenting although without success. He then underwent a laparotomy and biliary diversion (Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy) with satisfactory resolution of his bile duct pathology. Although the co-morbid conditions are likely to be contributory factors, biliary perforation in either disease has not been reported before. |
