Abstract

Cystic dilatation of the bile ducts is a rare congenital malformation. It’s due to an abnormality of the bilio-pancreatic junction which may involve the extra and/or intrahepatic bile ducts. According to Todani, there are several types depending on the site, shape and distribution of the malformation. It’s evoked in front of the inconstant clinical triad: pain, jaundice and mass. Ultrasound and better sectional imaging confirm the diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice to prevent malignant degeneration of the cyst wall and bile ducts.
