Abstract
Background. Choledochal cysts are congenital anomalies of the biliary duct. The most common site for the development of cystic dilation is the common bile duct. Although choledochal cysts are a rare disease in children, complications such as perforation of the cyst have been reported. In this literature review, we discuss a case of a choledochal cyst with rupture and pseudocyst formation. Complete excision of the cyst and pseudocyst yields an excellent outcome with a 90% 5-year survival rate postoperatively.
