'''Choledochal cysts''' are [[congenital]] conditions associated with [[benign]] [[cyst]]ic dilatation of [[bile ducts]]. They are uncommon  in western countries<ref name="pmid17825168">{{cite journal |author=Liu YB, Wang JW, Devkota KR, ''et al'' |title=Congenital choledochal cysts in adults: twenty-five-year experience |journal=Chin. Med. J. |volume=120 |issue=16 |pages=1404–7 |year=2007 |pmid=17825168 |doi=}}</ref> but not as rare in East Asian nations like Japan and China.
 
==Genetics==
Choledochal cysts may be associated with [[Caroli disease]].
 
==Classification scheme==
Choledochal cysts were classified into 5 types by Todani in 1977<ref>{{cite journal |author=Todani T, Watanabe Y, Narusue M, Tabuchi K, Okajima K |title=Congenital bile duct cysts: Classification, operative procedures, and review of thirty-seven cases including cancer arising from choledochal cyst |journal=Am. J. Surg. |volume=134 |issue=2 |pages=263-9 |year=1977 |pmid=889044}}</ref>.

Classification was based on site of the cyst or dilatation. Type I to IV has been subtyped.
*'''Type I:''' Most common variety involving saccular or fusiform dilatation of a portion or entire [[common bile duct]] (CBD) with normal intrahepatic duct.
*'''Type II:''' Isolated diverticulum protruding from the CBD.
*'''Type III or Choledochocele:''' Arise from dilatation of duodenal portion of CBD or where pancreatic duct meets.
*'''Type IV:''' Dilatation of both intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary duct.
*'''Type V''' or '''Caroli's disease:''' Cystic dilatation of intra hepatic biliary ducts.
 
==Signs and Symptoms==
Most of them present in 1st year of life; adult presentation is rare and usually at this stage is associated with complication . Classic triad of ''intermittent abdominal pain, [[jaundice]], and a [[right upper quadrant]] [[abdominal mass]]'' is found only in minority of patients.  A hepatic cyst may be present, as may short stature. A fever of unknown origin may be observed. [[Pancreatitis]] may be present.
 
==Treatments==
 
Choledochal cysts are treated by surgical excision of the cyst with the formation of a [[roux-en-Y]] anastamosis to the [[biliary duct]].
 
Future complications include [[cholangitis]] and a 2% risk of malignancy, which may develop in any part of the biliary tree.
