Abstract A case of advanced gallbladder carcinoma complicated with preoperative severe cholangitis is reported. The cholangitis was completely controlled after management employing percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), and it was then possible to perform curative resection of the gallbladder carcinoma. Malignancy at the hepatic hilus sometimes causes acute obstructive cholangitis, followed by severe liver dysfunction, making major hepatic resection impossible. PTBD is quite useful for improving such a pathological condition.
