case_images: A common bile duct plastic stent had been inserted based on the results of diagnostic investigations, including an obstructive pattern of liver enzyme elevation, dilatation of extra- and intrahepatic bile ducts revealed through ultrasonography and heterogeneity of the pancreatic head (likely due to cancer) in an abdominal spiral CT scan with oral- and venous-contrast media (Figures 1 and 2).
