Bile duct cysts

Marc Mesleh et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2008 Dec.

Abstract

Bile duct cysts are uncommon lesions that are found in adult and pediatric patients. Current concepts regarding epidemiology, etiology, classification, clinical diagnosis, and surgical treatment are reviewed. Bile duct cysts are associated with abnormal junctional anatomy of the pancreatic and bile ducts and with biliary tract cancer. When possible, complete cyst excision is the recommended treatment.
