It has been known that adenomyoma is a rare non-neoplastic lesion of the biliary tract. In literature, adenomyoma was managed by extensive surgical procedures for its diagnosis and treatment because adenomyoma showed symptoms like obstructive jaundice and epigastric pain, which made the decision for the lesion difficult to distinguish from malignant neoplasm.

The final diagnosis with an immunohistochemical stain revealed a lesion for adenomyoma of the major papilla
