Choledocal cyst (CC) is a rare congenital cystic dilation of bile duct and can be associated with serious complications including malignancy and inflammation of the surrounding anatomy. Approximately 80% of CC is diagnosed in infants and young children in their first decade of life. Complete surgical resection is recommended in patients with choledochal malformations with excellent outcome. Hereby we aimed to describe diagnosis and management aspects of choledochal cyst. A two years old girl complained intermittent abdominal pain in her upper right quadrant abdomen, accompanied with fever, nausea and vomiting and decrease of appetite. Physical examination, we found jaundice on sclera and palpabled liver 2 fingers below the costal arch. Abdominal ultrasound revealed cystic mass in right lower lobe, suggestive of hepatic cyst with inflammation of cystic head of pancreas and minimal free fluid in lumen. Abdominal CT-scan without contrast showed a choledocal cyst classified as Todani Type IV. A cyst in the bile duct was found during surgical procedure. In conclusion choledocal cyst as one of the differential diagnoses in children, which is characterized by intermittent right upper abdominal pain, jaundice and fever. Appropriate surgical measures should be undertaken to avoid complications.
