Abstract:
Peribiliary cysts, otherwise known as cystic dilatation of the peribiliary glands, are uncommon, and are usually discovered incidentally at autopsy, or in explants following liver transplantation. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult owing to their asymptomatic nature and small size. Exclusion of a premalignant or malignant cystic condition is mandatory. We report a case of peribiliary cysts, initially thought to represent Caroli's disease, and briefly discuss the management of this condition.
