Popis: Choledochal cysts are an uncommon anomaly of unknown etiology of the bilious system. This anomaly, characterized by cystic dilatations on intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts, can be seen at any age from birth. Most rare congenital bile duct cysts choledochocele (type III) is usually diagnosed in adults. Since the congenital choledochal cyst has not a unique clinical finding, the basic criteria for diagnosis are based on imaging findings. This article presents a case of choledochocele accompanying recurrent pancreatitis in a 19-year-old male patient.
