Abstract
Abstract A choledochal cyst is a rare and usually benign condition that is diagnosed in 80% of cases in early infancy. Prenatal diagnosis is increasingly identifying the cysts allowing an early surgical treatment with less risk of complications. We report a case of a newborn with prenatal diagnosis of a giant right upper quadrant abdominal cyst. During surgery, an 8 cm choledochal cyst was found. A cholecistectomy, surgical excision of the cyst and formation of a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed.
