Sump syndrome
is a rare complication of choledochoenterotomy. Patients with sump syndrome often have abdominal pain, recurrent cholangitis, pancreatitis,

We report an 80-year-old man who presented with a hepatic abscess secondary to sump syndrome 26 years after a Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy for recurrent cholangitis.
