Abstract :

Choledochal cysts are considered rare congenital anomalies that are even more rare and difficult to diagnose in adults. A 15 year old female presenting to our institute with upper GI bleeding and co-incidental finding of duodenal mass which was found to be type III choledochal cyst. Type I and IV choledochal cyst are managed surgically with excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Type II cysts managed by simple excision. Type III cysts management depends on symptoms, managed with sphincterotomy, endoscopic or surgical resection. Type V cysts due to their difficult course of management eventually require liver transplantation. This review addresses types, incidence, diagnosis and management of choledochal cysts with focus on adults� population.
