A case of mucin productive bile duct adenoma with obstructive jaundice is described. A 82 years old man complaining of general malaise and icterus admitted to our hospital. Dilated left intrahepatic bile duct and no definite mass was showed by abdominal ulttasonography and computed tomography. Endocopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed clear-shaped filling defect in the common bile duct and the almost total filling defect in the left intrahepatic bile duct. Diagnosis was tumor of left intrahepatic bile duct. A left hepatectomy was performed. There was much mucin in the common bile duct and localised thickness of the wall of the left intrahepatic bile duct. Pathological examination of the localised thickness of the wall revealed a bile duct adenoma. This case is interesting from the view point of showing obstructive jaundice.
