Figure 1 A 42-year-old woman presented with jaundice, right upper quadrant pain and pruritus. Laboratory test findings were: hemoglobin (Hb) 11.1; bilirubin 4.6; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 34; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 38; prothrombin time (PT) 16; and alkaline phosphatase 1083. Abdominal sonography revealed dilatation of the intra- and extrahepatic biliary ducts. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) showed dilated bile ducts with a large lobulated filling defect in the proximal portion of the common bile duct toward the intrahepatic ducts. CBD, common bile duct; CHD, common hepatic duct.
Figure 2 During surgery a pedunculated mass lesion was seen extending from the left hepatic duct to the mid-portion of the CBD.
Figure 3 Histological investigation demonstrated a choledochal cystadenoma.
