Abstract

A case of congenital bile duct cyst in a 15-year-old female patient was diagnosed by clinical symptoms, laboratory data, ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Excision with Roux-en-Y choledochocystojejunostomy was performed with good result. We report one case of congenital bile duct cyst type IV-A (by Todani classification) with brief review of all 277 cases reported so far in Korean literature and present comparisons with Flanigan’ s series of 1975 and Yamaguchi’s series of 1980.
