Introduction: Hepatolithiasisis is endemic in regions like Southeast Asia with a prevalence that may reach 50%, but in the Western world it is rare. The proper management requires a precise research and early diagnosis. This is a real challenge due to the high rate of recurrence and complications. Case report: A twenty-four year-old female patient, was admitted witn a six months history of jaundice. She complained of epigastric and upper right quadrant intermitent pain. A week before admission she presented coluria and headache. Lab-tests were the fololowing: Conjugated bilirrubin 8.82 mg/dl, unconjugated bilirrubin 6.16 mg/dl, AST 138mg/dl, ALT 116 mg/dl, alkaline phosphatase 997mg/dl and GGT 226 mg/dl. Discusion: Therapeutic alternatives are focused to erradicate predisposing risk factors of liver carcninoma, one of the is recurrent hepatolitiasis. Though, the surgical approach is a diangostic and therapeutic tool, there is no evidence of its advantages.
