Core Tip	The distal common bile duct is an extremely rare site of adenomyomatoushyperplasia. Diagnosis is usually based on imaging findings, and endoscopic biopsy is difficult before operation. We present here a rare case of adenomyomatous hyperplasia of the distal common bile duct demonstrated by endoscopic ultrasound, which revealed a nodular change and bile duct wall thickening. We concluded the mass was a benign, non-neoplastic lesion. This case highlights how endoscopic ultrasound may be a useful choice for the diagnosis of adenomyoma of the distal common bile duct, especially in patients with ambiguous magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography/computed tomography.
