ABSTRACT: Cystic dilatation of the common bile duct constitutes a rare congenital
malformation prevalent in people of Asian origin with a female predominance. Its
classification follows that of Todani. The commonest form, found in 80% of
cases, is type I. Common bile duct cysts are often diagnosed in 2 out of 3
cases, during childhood with adult forms often rare. We hereby report the case
of a cystic dilatation of the bile duct in a 75-year-old patient without
significant history of disease.
