Abstract
- Choledochocele is a rare cystic dilatation of the distal common bile duct in the wall of the duodenum. It is a type III choledochal cyst among the five types according to Todani's modification of the Alonso-Lej classification, and this type lll cyst comprises less than 4% of all choledochal cysts. We experienced one case of choledochocele in a 41-year-old woman who presented with recurrent pancreatitis, and we report on this case, along with a review of the literature.
