ABSTRACT

Congenital dilatation of the bile duct and its incidence is a rare condition reported in one in 100 000 to 150 000 newborns. Current concern about the evolution of this process is that a cholangiocarcinoma might appear. The case of a female teenager of urban origin, who attended her health area polyclinic, because of a moderate 5 months pain in her high epigastrium and in her upper right abdomen is presented. The pain appeared always after eating accompanied by vomiting and it was selfrelieved. An abdominal ultrasound indicated by the patient’s family doctor showed a liver cyst. It was decided to perform an abdominal computed tomography. Through this test a cyst at the pancreatic head was found. The patient was admitted in the emergency room of the ‘’Gustavo Aldereguía Lima’’ Hospital of Cienfuegos, where she was evaluated by the physicians in the Surgery Department. It was decided to treat her surgically. Anatomopathologic results showed chronic cholecystitis, choledochal cyst and nonspecific chronic inflammation.
