ABSTRACT
Introduction: Choledochal cysts have a low incidence in Western countries. Although considered benign, they are associated with malignancy, cholangitis, pancreatitis, and cholelithiasis. Their clinical presentation may vary, delaying diagnosis. New technologies in imaging and laparoscopic surgery have generated controversy regarding the recommended diagnostic technique and surgical management. They are usually diagnosed in childhood, although in utero and adult diagnosis are also common. The first case report of laparoscopic surgery for a choledochal cyst was published in 1995, but it was not until May 2015 that an international, multicenter database was published of patients operated between 1972 and 2014, where only 36 people underwent laparoscopic surgery; it demonstrated that minimally invasive surgery is a feasible and safe approach in the pediatric population.
Objective: To present the clinical and radiological characteristics, and the surgical management of a three-year-old female patient with type I choledochal cyst.
