Hepatic resection for benign pathology is rare. We report our experience in two patients with hepaticolithiasis. One patient underwent left hemihepatectomy with removal of segments II, III and IV for localized Caroli's disease with multiple intrahepatic calculi. The second patient underwent resection of segment II and III with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for right and left intrahepatic calculi with an abscess in the left lobe of the liver and a choledochal cyst.

We report a 60 year-old-man who presented with generalized abdominal colicky pain. He had a history of left great toe dysarticulation done for amelanotic melanoma one year ago. Investigations were suggestive of metastases of melanoma to the small intestine. Exploratory laparotomy with segmental ileal resection and anastomosis was performed. Histological examination showed features of amelanotic melanoma characterized by absence of melanin pigment.
