Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 17: Surgeons at Medicover Hospitals, Hoodi, Bengaluru, have treated a 54-year-old man with severe obstructive jaundice who had been advised elsewhere that he most likely had a cancerous tumour near the bile duct. The actual cause turned out to be Type 1 Mirizzi syndrome, a rare condition in which gallstones compress the main bile duct from outside, complicated by a pus-filled gallbladder.
