Upadhyaya VD, Kumar B, Upadhyaya E, Neeyaz Z
Abstract: Choledochal cyst of the cystic duct is an uncommon entity which may occur as
isolated disease or may be associated with choledochal cyst of the other part of the
biliary tree. In most of the reported series it was diagnosed at time of operation but
now days to better investigation modality it can be diagnosed preoperatively if the
index of suspicion is high. We are presenting a series of such case in pediatric age
group (which includes an infant) where the diagnosis was made during operation
with a light on means and ways for suspecting this entity before operation and how
to differentiate other lesion with this entity with relevant review of literature.
