Abstract:
Botrioid rhabdomyosarcoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts is a rare cause of jaundice in children. It has a very poor prognosis and is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. We report a choledochal botrioid rhabdomyosarcoma in a 22-month-old boy who developed an obstructive jaundice. Radiographic explorations suggested cystic lymphangioma. The gallbladder, the cystic duct, the common bile duct and the pancreatic head were resected. The diagnosis was made on pathological examination; adjuvant chemotherapy followed. The patient was disease free 20 months following treatment.
