Area of Science:

  • Pediatric oncology
  • Surgical gastroenterology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Choledochal cysts are congenital dilations of the bile ducts.
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare childhood cancer of the muscles.
  • The co-occurrence of these conditions is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old girl presented with jaundice, weight loss, and appetite loss.
  • A palpable abdominal mass was detected.
  • Imaging revealed a large subhepatic mass with cystic areas connected to the biliary tree.

Findings:

  • The mass was identified as an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma within the choledochal cyst.
  • Surgical excision of the mass and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy were performed.
  • Postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy were administered.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a novel association between choledochal cysts and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
  • Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment are crucial for managing such rare pediatric malignancies.
  • Further research may be needed to understand the pathogenesis and optimal management of this rare condition.
