Abstrakt: Twenty-one cases of primary carcinoma of the cystic duct have been reported in the literature. Most cases were characterized by a hydrops or cholecystitis, whereas only two patients presented with jaundice. To our knowledge, this is only the third case of obstructive jaundice caused by a primary cystic duct carcinoma. The patient was treated by cholecystectomy with resection of the cystic duct tumor and a portion of the common bile duct. Reconstruction was performed by a Roux-en-Y choledocojejunostomy.
