    Summary

    Congenital biliary dilatation, a rare condition, can present in adults with abdominal pain and jaundice. Early diagnosis via imaging and surgical intervention are key for managing this uncommon biliary tree anomaly.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Congenital Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Congenital cystic dilatation of the biliary tree is rare, typically diagnosed in infancy.
    • Adult presentation may involve chronic right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, cholangitis, or a palpable mass.

    Observation:

    • This study details a 60-year-old woman with congenital cystic dilatation of extra- and intrahepatic bile ducts.
    • The case presented with cystolithiasis, an uncommon and late complication, following an unusual clinical course.

    Findings:

    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and ultrasonography improve preoperative diagnosis of biliary cysts.
    • Babbitt's theory is the leading explanation for causation, supported by ERCP findings.

    Implications:

    • Early suspicion and diagnostic imaging are crucial for adults presenting with suggestive symptoms.
    • Surgical excision is the preferred treatment for biliary cysts; Roux-en-Y choledochocystojejunostomy is an alternative when excision is not feasible.
