A case of paraganglioma arising in the common hepatic duct is reported. The patient presented with obstructive jaundice. At operation, a soft mass, 5 X 2 X 1.8 cm, was found firmly adherent to the intraluminal surface of the common hepatic duct. At cholecystectomy, exploration of the common hepatic duct was performed and the mass was partially removed. T-tube choledochostomy and operative cholangiography were performed. The final pathological report was paraganglioma of the common hepatic duct. The patient was clinically improved on discharge.
