Anatomy
This is from an MRI report of the extrahepataic bile ducts. There is an obstruction with dilatation of the intrahepatic ducts upstream. The report reads: "Obstacle a l'emporte-piece du canal choledoque.." I'm not sure if the report is referring to the common bile duct or the common hepatic duct. I can't imagine what the corresponding anatomical term might be in English. Any help would be much appreciated with the "punch" line.

Selected
"punched-out"
Blockage by a discrete obstruction of the common bile duct, giving rise to dilatation of intrahepatic biliary ducts.

The implication is that it is not a 100% obstructed but has one or more "holes" that allow some bile to flow.

The term comes from metal work for perforations. Biopsies are sometimes performed with "emporte-pièce pour biopsie" in cranial and rectal locations where a tissue core is retained from the center.
In this case it is purely descriptive of the nature of the obstruction of the common bile duct which is going from liver to duodenum.

"L'emporte-pièce est un outil mécanique à frapper qu'on utilise pour découper une forme ronde dans des matières souples (le plastique, le liège, le cuir, etc.)."

Thus "punched-out" or perforated obstruction.

Yes,as noted in first line above, it is common bile duct that is in question.

On reflection I do agree with SJLD that it is more probably a well-delineated and round and therefore described as "punched out". Good point.
I retract my image of perforations and would interpret the "punched out" emporte-pièce as a round well delineated obstruction.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Michael, once again! I translated as "disecrete, punched-out appearance.." The report was describing the findings in the region of a lesion compressing the common bile duct from without and causing an indentation. |
| P.S. Wish I could spell "discrete"..! |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
SJLD
: yes, it's a well-delineated, discrete thingy - sounds like a gallstone
