Abstract:
Choledochal cysts are congenital lesions involving cystic dilatation of the bile ducts. The choledochocele, the rarest type of choledochal cyst, is a cystic dilatation of the distal common bile duct that protrudes into the duodenum. There have been few reports concerning malignancy in the biliary tree associated with choledochoceles. We recently experienced a case of a choledochocele with gallbladder cancer.
