Abstract:
Choledochal cysts have an increased risk of biliary tract malignancy, induced by reflux of pancreatic juice and anomalous pancreatobiliary ductal junction. We report one case of congenital choledochal cyst in a 68-year-old female whose malignancy was revealed by history of pain and jaundice. Pancreatico-duodenectomy was performed and the patient was alive 6 months later.
