Abstract:
A choledochal cyst is a relatively common lesion of the biliary tract in pediatric patients and usually presents abdominal pain, jaundice, and abdominal mass. Its etiology is unknown, but the theory of pancreatobiliary reflux through anomalous pancreatobiliary duct union is widely accepted. A mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas is very rare in children. To our knowledge, there is no literature reporting a case of a choledochal cyst with a mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas. We report a case of a choledochal cyst combined with a mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy at the head of the pancreas in a 5-year-old girl and review the literature.
