“…This disease is more common in Asia and is rare in Spain (2,3,8,12). Complications can occur if HL remains untreated (4,12), and their associated morbidity and mortality is high, oscillating between 1 and 10% (2,(13)(14)(15).…”

“…In Asia, HL is usually associated with previous biliary tract stenosis caused by a series of disorders (bacterial or parasitic infection, Caroli's disease, posttraumatic or postsurgical biliary stenosis, cholangiocarcinoma, primary sclerosing cholangitis, etc.) that cause biliary stasis, leading to the formation of primary calculi (2,(13)(14)(15)(16). In Europe, secondary calculi are more common.…”

“…Untreated HL can give rise to cholangitis, hepatic abscesses, biliary cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and cholangiocarcinoma (4,12). HL is associated with high morbidity, around 20-30% (2,(13)(14)(15), and a mortality oscillating between 1 and 10% (2,(13)(14)(15). We present a series of five patients treated in our department.…”

A rare grade III symptomatic Tsunoda class III left lobe hepatolithiasis in a North American woman

A 44-year-old Caucasian woman without any identified predisposing factors, presented to her local emergency room with multiple episodes of recurrent ascending cholangitis. She underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy several years prior to her admission to the hospital for parenteral antibiotic therapy and she had no personal or family history of hypercholesterolaemia. Transferred to a tertiary hospital for surgical therapy, she underwent a left hepatic resection for a chronically infected left lobe hepatolithiasis (HL) conditioning atrophy of the parenchyma due to obstruction of the biliary tree by multiple large cholesterol stones. HL is a very rare condition in Western countries and its aetiology and predisposing factors are still unclear. We present her symptomatology, diagnostic and therapeutic management and discuss the epidemiology and risk factors of HL, that is, a common condition in South East Asia while exceptional in Caucasian patients who have not travelled in high-prevalence regions.

Intrahepatic cholelithiasis, which is defined as stones proximal to the confluence of the hepatic ducts, is considered endemic in Southeast Asia. Its pathogenesis is not completely understood yet. A 19-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with a history of recurrent biliary pancreatitis. Abdominal ultrasound detected normal gallbladder while magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed lithiasis at the hepatic duct of liver segment V. After preoperative evaluation a typical segmentectomy was done. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was well at 6-month follow-up.
