Abstract | INTRODUCTION: PRESENTATION OF CASE: DISCUSSION: Mass-forming sclerosis of the bile duct and biliary bifurcation may develop as a consequence of chronic biliary obstruction and prolonged stenting. Secondary portal vein thrombosis and pre-sinusoidal portal hypertension represents an unusual complication, mimicking Klatskin tumor. CONCLUSION: A timely and proper management of post- cholecystectomy complications is of mainstay importance. Early referral to a specialized hepato-biliary center is strongly advised.
