Abstract

Choledochal cysts are biliary dilatations with malignant potential. Intracystic choledocholithiasis is a rare complication. This report describes a 38-year-old woman with a Type IB choledochal cyst containing a 5.46 cm intracystic calculus complicated by obstructive jaundice. Imaging confirmed a saccular cyst of the distal common bile duct with associated intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary dilatation. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with biliary stent placement achieved decompression, complicated by postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis. Extrahepatic biliary resection via a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was curative. This represents the first reported Type IB choledochal cyst with a giant intracystic calculus in a Hispanic adult in the rural United States.
