title: Choledochal cysts in adults: a case report.
abstract: We examined a case of choledochal cyst in an adult having congenital dilatation of the bile duct classified, according to Todani's, as type I and treated by excision with hepatic-jejunostomy Roux-en Y. This procedure is recommended as the best treatment for eliminating pancreatitis by pancreaticobiliary disconnection and thus for reducing the risk of malignancy.
