Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Choledochal cysts are rare congenital biliary tract malformations.
  • These cysts are associated with an increased risk of developing cholangiocarcinoma, a bile duct cancer.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing choledochal cysts and preventing complications.

Observation:

  • A case of a young female patient presenting with abdominal pain and vomiting.
  • Physical examination revealed an epigastric mass with diffuse tenderness.
  • Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of choledochal cyst, despite the absence of jaundice.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration and excision of the choledochal cyst were performed.
  • Hepatico-jejunostomy and jejuno-jejunostomy using the Roux-en-Y technique were successfully completed.

  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery and follow-up.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering choledochal cysts in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses.
    • Prompt surgical management can effectively treat choledochal cysts and mitigate the risk of malignant transformation.
    • Emphasizes the need for increased awareness and timely intervention for this premalignant congenital anomaly.
