Abstract

Choledochal cysts are the cystic dilatation of bile ducts. The widely used Todani classification of choledochal cysts does not mention the choledochal cysts at cystic duct location. Only a few cases of choledochal cyst at the location of cystic duct have been reported and termed as type VI choledochal cysts. We report a case of diverticular form of choledochal cyst attached to cystic duct diagnosed preoperatively by Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and Hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan and confirmed by surgery and histopathology in a young female. This is a variant of type VI choledochal cyst.
