title: Cholangiocarcinoma in a type III choledochal cyst.
abstract: We present the case of an 85 year old woman who was found to have a type III choledochal cyst with cholangiocarcinoma. The case is unusual because of the advanced age of the patient, the presence of both stones and a carcinoma in a type III cyst, and the associated congenital abnormalities.
