Recurrent Choledochal Cyst with Pancreatitis–A Rare Indication for Whipple’s Surgery – Case Report and Review of Literature.

A young man presented to us with a history of repeated episodes of epigastric pain, he was evaluated and diagnosed of recurrent pancreatitis. Imaging revealed a choledochal cyst arising from the infra duodenal portion of common bile duct and pancreatic duct opening into it. The choice of surgical intervention in choledochal cysts has always been debated, especially in cases with such anatomy. In the following case report we briefly describe the operative method and rationale for our choice.

Monosegmental Hepatobiliary Fibropolycystic Disease Mimicking a Mass: Report of Three Cases

Hepatobiliary fibropolycystic diseases are a unique group of entities involving the liver and biliary tract, which are caused by abnormal embryologic development of the ductal plates at various stages. We experienced strange hepatobiliary fibropolycystic diseases with a complex mass composed of malformed ducts and biliary cysts, which did not belong to, and were different from, previously known malformations. They were unique in imaging and histologic features. We herein report three cases of monosegmental hepatobiliary fibropolycystic disease mimicking a mass.
