Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare entity of common hepatic duct obstruction by gall stone or cystic duct stone. It comprises the following features: lower insertion of the cystic duct such that it lies almost parallel to the common hepatic duct; impaction of a gallstone in the cystic duct or neck of the gallbladder; mechanical obstruction of the common hepatic duct by the stone itself or inflammatory reaction; and recurrent cholangitis. We report the case of 60-year-old male who visited our emergency room with fever, jaundice and right upper quadrant pain. After a series of studies including sonography, computed tomography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography, Mirizzi's syndrome with a liver abscess was diagnosed. We emphasize the importance of an accurate diagnosis prior to operation, discuss the management of the Mirizzi's syndrome, and review the literature.
