Periampullary choledochal diverticula are not choledochal cysts
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2011Choledochal cysts (CC) are rare, congenital anomalies of the biliary tree, associated with the development of biliary malignancies. Small periampullary choledochal diverticula (PCD) are a previously unreported type of biliary anomaly found primarily at ERCP.The aim of this study was to assess whether PCD are congenital or acquired lesions by comparing ...

Choledochal cysts are rare cystic dilatations of the intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic biliary tree, which may be mistaken for other cystic lesions if their characteristic features are not recognized. The etiology is unknown, and likely multifactorial, and it is uncertain whether they are congenital or acquired.

Choledochoceles: Are They Choledochal Cysts?
Advances in Surgery, 2011The classification of choledochoceles as a type of choledochal cyst stems from the 1959 article by Alonso-Lej and colleagues describing 94 choledochal cysts, only 4 of which were choledochoceles. Even then, Alonso-Lej questioned the propriety of including the choledochocele, stating it was unclear "as to whether or not it originates from the same ...

ABSTRACTWe report a case of Caroli's disease associated with diverticulae and choledochocele of the common bile duct, a wide pancreaticobiliary angle and non‐cirrhotic portal hypertension. This patient presented with recurrent episodes of cholangitis. To our knowledge, such a range of findings in the same patient has not been previously reported in the

Choledochal cysts are congenital malformations and can be classified into four types. The type 1 lesion is the usual form; the others are extremely uncommon. The treatment in most cases should be surgical drainage into the gastrointestinal tract, preferably using the jejunum in Roux-en-Y fashion.

Management of choledochal cysts
Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2016Historically, surgical treatment of choledochal cyst consisted of cyst enterostomy. However, incomplete cyst excision can result in recurrent symptoms and malignant transformation within the cyst remnant. Accordingly, management of choledochal cyst now includes complete cyst excision whenever possible.

Cystic dilation of the common bile duct is a rare congenital anomaly. The cases of two patients, 2 1/2 and 18 years old, respectively, illustrate the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, as well as the value of long-term postoperative follow-up. Ascending cholangitis developed in one of the patients after a Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy nine years after ...

Choledochal Cysts in the Adult
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1988Although choledochal cyst is generally considered a disorder of childhood, in approximately 20% of patients a cyst is first recognized in adult life. We reviewed nine adults who underwent operation for choledochal cyst from 1974-1985 at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Two young infants were found to have choledochal cyst. In the first patient, the only clinical manifestation was asymptomatic hepatosplenomegaly. She developed bilious ascites after a percutaneous liver biopsy. The second patient presented with fluctuating jaundice and spontaneous perforation of the cyst resulting in bilious ascites.

To the Editor.—Rattner et al1have stated that "mucosal abnormalities have been described only in adults," suggesting that choledochal cysts in children might represent a different pathologic entity from those found in adults. Our review of 19 cases of choledochal cysts in children reported that the cyst walls "showed fibrous tissue, fragmented elastic
