Cholelithiasis
Cholelithiasis, also known as congenital bile duct cancer, is a rare condition that affects the bile ducts in the liver. It is characterized by the formation of a stone in the bile duct, which can cause blockages, abdominal pain, and jaundice. The most common symptom is jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin and eyes due to the buildup of bile pigment in the body. The exact cause of cholelithiasis is not known, but it is thought to be related to the genetic mutation that affects the bile ducts. The disease is usually diagnosed in childhood, and treatment typically involves surgery to remove the stone and a segment of the affected bile duct. In some cases, a liver transplant may be necessary to treat the condition. Cholelithiasis is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that can cause significant discomfort and health complications. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have this condition, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
