Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) is unusual during common medical work. Moreover, cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis involvement has not been reported. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We describe a case of DJS complicated by cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. A 49-year-old man accepted by outpatient complained with intermittent cramping pain in right upper abdomen. It is diagnosed as cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. We found the dark greenish liver when the operation was performed. Liver biopsy confirms the DJS. DISCUSSION: It is the firstly reported case DJS related to the cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. CONCLUSION: Cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis may develop in DJS. DJS is possible a reason for cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis, not just likely a chance occurrence.
