Abstract
Endoscopic billiary stenting is an accustomed modus operandi to deal with benign billiary diseases. Though short term complication has been mentioned in medical literature, there are very few case reports on forgotten CBD stents. We present a case of 50 year old male who presented with a discharging sinus in rt hypochondrium. Patient gave history of some endoscopic procedure 9 years ago. Radiological imaging revealed a DPT stent in right lobe of liver which was having its one end in subcutaneous space in right hypochondrium. Exploratory laparotomy was done and the stent retrieved. Migration of CBD stent in gastrointestinal tract is a frequent finding but migration to subcutaneous space through liver is scarcely reported.
