    Summary

    This case study highlights a rare choledochocoele diagnosis in a 73-year-old man with gallstones. Improved radiodiagnostic methods aid in identifying this anomaly preoperatively.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Choledochocoeles, cystic dilatations of the distal common bile duct, are rare congenital anomalies.
    • Obstruction jaundice, often caused by choledocholithiasis or malignancy, necessitates prompt diagnosis and intervention.
    • Advancements in radiodiagnostic imaging have improved the detection of rare biliary tract anomalies.

    Observation:

    • A 73-year-old male presented with obstructive jaundice.
    • Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) revealed a choledochocoele associated with cholelithiasis.
    • Preoperative diagnosis of this rare anomaly was achieved through advanced imaging techniques.

    Findings:

    • The patient's obstructive jaundice was attributed to a choledochocoele, a rare cystic dilatation of the common bile duct.
    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) was found to be coexisting with the choledochocoele.
    • The successful preoperative diagnosis underscores the utility of modern radiodiagnostic modalities.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of choledochocoeles is crucial for effective surgical planning.
    • Surgical management options include discision or complete excision of the choledochocoele.
    • This case emphasizes the importance of considering rare biliary anomalies in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.
