Abstract
Choledochal cysts are rare congenital dilations of the biliary tree. Most are diagnosed in infancy or childhood, though the incidence of adult diagnosis is increasing. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are important due to risk of malignant transformation. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has a central role in diagnosis, surveillance, and even definitive therapy in a subtype of cysts. This chapter will review the presentation and diagnosis of choledochal cysts as well as their clinical classification and management.
