An 81-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with a 6-day history of abdominal pain and multiple episodes of vomiting. Abdominal CT showed an extensive pneumobilia, a contracted gallbladder that communicated with the duodenum, and an ovoid, calci- fied mass in duodenal bulb. At the esophagogastroduo- denoscopy, a large calculus was seen in the duodenal bulb (Fig. 1). |
